Description
Description:
This guitar has been built with the traditional classic R-Body size and shape. However, we used a somewhat unique combination of wood species on this particular build. The top and back are made from solid book-matched European Ash. The neck and book-matched sides are made of Honduras Mahogany. The fretboard and headstock overlay are made of ebony. As it turned out, this combination of body woods was a good one. The Ash gives the guitar a great boost with the top three strings, while the Mahogany tempers the overall tone a bit, and really helps with the bass notes.
