| This is one of my hand-made
custom-stock solid through-neck body "Lightning Bolt Jerry
Garcia Tribute guitars"
Kingswood Lefty (private-stock
#L3/05/Bolt
3rd lefty ever made by myself). They are
among the most difficult guitars to make.
You will not find a guitar this caliber below 5k anywhere. The original I made, broke the
electronics record, thanks to a collaboration with San Francisco's top
guitar tech "Gary Brawer". This one is set up like the Tiger. This guitar does include the three balanced custom wound humb./single coil setup--with three on/on switches. It sounds and feels perfect. The action is smooth, the medium neck glides you into the 24th fret with total ease. The figured hardwoods used are handpicked for tone and figure with no color or stain added. I used a similar method of construction as the late Cripe except for the valute, which I hand carved. Cripe glued the entire headstock to the neck. Mine is one piece. This guitar is brand-new. It includes a new hardshell case. Check the details to the right. Email me with any questions. (I accept checks, money-orders) |
