Really a cool guitar, just over 6 pounds with the Duesenberg-inspired/designed tremolo. If you don't like the tremololololo, you can replace it with a regular stoptail piece with no additional modification which is nice.
I put flatwounds on this when I first got it, and it has a really enjoyable jazz sound about it. The fit and finish are really impressive, and it's a fun guitar to play. It definitely has a Collings/330/something else going on kind of vibe. Frets have no noticeable wear and everything works as the day I got it from the local shop.

Me either.
Yeah Bill, I feel the same. I feel he's doing less, not more. No extra "murphy steps'. The tail-piece happens to look like it does from the brazing. He just doesn't polish it. Maybe he...
The Benson and Metheny interviews were great, worth everyone’s time here. He also interviewed lesser knowns such as Marcusso. I enjoyed his Tony Levin interview, a lot, too. To get big rock star...
I was introduced to Erich after picking up a Phoenix arch top in a trade. I connected with him to work a tailpiece reinforcement and he connected with my Luthier to install. he was great to work...
I do find it presumptuous when people immediately get uppity with an OP, but here we've no choice:
It's a false dichotomy, you need both.
You need to understand the mechanics and be able to...
