    Mmmmm....WOOD!



    A little future something something from the Lab.

    A dirty swamp caster for the collection. These blanks are going to get re-sawn as the back side has this going on:

    I have no idea what it is, I suspect black butt or similar. I just love the character of the fissures and pressure distortions in the wood.

    This one is permanently in open D and when you drop a drive pedal in on top of it, it is DIIRRRRRTY on that HB.

    But, but, I want a dirty swamp Tele...

    At this point it’s all theoretical. Those slabs are 25mm thick so I could do at least two decent tops with it.

    My issue with an original design, simply put is designing it.

    I have done a couple of original designs that end up looking very Strat or Ibanez RG.
