This is a new model I designed which is the precursor to the "Elixir". I spent 2 years designing it. This is the first prototype which just received its design copyright. Construction is based on the "Wolf by Irwin for Jerry Garcia (Grateful Dead). It is part of my private stock. The final model will be slightly bigger with the lower horn stretched further down. This guitar is perfect for small hands. I incorporated the neck-to-body contours which allow perfect seating for the thumb when playing leads. This guitar like all my more exotic models went through a 10 month construction cycle and has "zero wear". Excellent feel with extreme low action and great sound combinations (Elixir1-07-1). I usually put the strap buttons behind
the horn and behind the end-butt of the body.
I have not drilled the holes as some players prefer them to be at the
end/edge of the body. |
