Some of you may have seen this in For Sale but wanted to show it off. So pictures.. then blah blah
SO this one is a bit unique. A couple years ago, my buddy Daniel Tyack at Salvage Custom became good friends with Bob Taylor. Well Bob gave Dan some big pieces of Walnut out of his personal stash and Dan had me resaw them for him (since he didn't have a big enough bandsaw). My fee was I got to keep a top out of it. So that's what this is.
The back is Spanish Mahogany (Spanish Cedar) that I've been saving that was both incredibly light, resonant and has gorgeous flame running through it (we don't get that often. Maybe once every 4-5 units of material).
Pickups are Lollar's Goldfoils which are always fantastic. The kicker, this guitar weighs 5.6lbs, is mostly hollow (block under the bridge and a modified bracing pattern copied from the Acadian). Sounds unreal!
