Electric build number one. A solid Honduran mahogany body under red gloss, with a Canadian rock maple neck stiffened by a walnut compression strip, and a Wenge fretboard. The build where the electric-side fundamentals, neck geometry, fretwork, wiring, setup, were established for everything that came after.
