Guitar #017

Through-neck Solid-body Electric
"The Bee" Cutting Board

Completed Aug 22, 2005

Here is a guitar that is a true one-of-kind.  The 24 fret Macassar Ebony fret board with an inlayed shell Bee and mother-of-pearl position marks are only the starting point for this instrument. Through-neck guitars are known for the best transmission of sound down the neck and into the body.  They also are some of the best for playability down at the high frets.  This guitar is equipped with Seymour Duncan soap-bar pickups which are known for exceptional quality in sound.  Three position toggle switch and just dual volume controls keeps it simple.  Top of the line Schaller machine heads and bridge complete the package.
