First off is the daylglow blue sparkle. It weighs in at around 8lbs, and is a tone monster. I've played this one the most, and it has a little play wear/ fret wear, but plays amazingly! The finish has sunk into the grain a bit, but the paisley finish is still by far, my favorite! The guitar has a 1 piece 9.5" radius neck with 6105 frets, and a more modern "C" back shape and rolled fretboard (around .720). The neck has minor flame, and an extremely smooth feel. It also features a dual-action truss rod.
Please see below for pickup/ wiring specs, as both guitars have the same.
Second is my black paisley sparkle. This one weighs less than 8, but I don't have an exact number. It's lightweight and well-balanced. This one has a two piece extremely flamed maple neck. Same specs as above- 9.5" radius, 6105, .720 back in a modern "c," and dual action truss rod. It is a work of art. It has one minor finish flaw on the lower horn on the back. See pic.
Both feature aircraft aluminum lightweight b bender mechanisms designed and built by Forrest Lee Jr.
Both guitars feature Forrest's custom scatter wound Boost Coil 3/2 pickups. Made by Callahan Pickups.
They're wound to 6.5k and then they tap them, and continue winding another 2k for a boost that adds just enough power to give you that boost for slightly driving the amp.
Nice even tone via 1/4" alnico 3 magnets for the E and A strings, and 3/16" Alnico 2 magnets for the D G B and E strings. This produces a nice even tone with rounded lows, and smooth highs, Not brittle, but full o twang!
Pull the tone pot, and it boosts the bridge and neck pickups for an over wound "Boost".
Both guitars feature compensated brass saddles, graphite nut, and a gig bag.
Asking 1350 for the blue sparkle, or 1500 for the black sparkle. Prices are firm!
