Here's a one piece, maple, quilted body we made for the forum bash. Check out the flames!















Location - Either Poppa's office or on it's way to SLO.

It sounds "fuller" than I thought a maple body would be.

Location - Either Poppa's office or headed to SLO.

These BFR's have an ash body, mahogany tone block, redwood top, mahogany neck, and rosewood fingerboard. The redwood comes from old growth stumps that are over 1000 years old.

Approximately 120 of the bad boys will will be made available to the public. Enjoy!
