This lovely guitar stopped by for a brief visit yesterday to have the battery clips reconnected. Burl Brazilian Rosewood to die for. We didn't take very many pictures in 1997, so when I get a chance to document some earlier work, I jump on it. |

Surprising that it's a '97; looks much newer. And yes, beautiful guitar! |

Body looks like a combination of a Standard Point and a Spoiler. Hum-canceller must be mounted inside? Yes indeed, that wood is really something! |

Agree about the shape, really nice. Also thought it was newer at first glance. Must admit I am not usually that big a fan of burled wood but what an exquisite piece of Rosewood! Would love to have an instrument with a top like that Rosewood is great sounding wood. Any chance you took a shot that includes the headstock? The electronics are interesting, too. Looks like a Series II without the humcanceller. |

I knew this looked familiar. I think this one on the forum is the same guitar and has more photos. http://alembic.com/club/messages/411/37064.html?1246885106 Enjoy |
