2014 Version with 13" scale
Re profiling the frets with a fret file after levelling. 600 grade wet and dry then used to take out all of the trade marks.
|
This is a 13" scale version, active and solid construction. Mahogany back and neck, Ebony board with star inlays, book matched figured Maple top. Simple preamp with active tone shaping works really well.
