Artisan Master ~ "Madeleine"

Some of us might remember me running this spec body on the CNC and asking for opinions of it.
Basically, the body started out as a 3" thick slab of flamed Redwood. I cut 1" off the top and set it aside for the "top". The body was then semi-hollowed out.
The underside of the "top" was carved, glued back onto the body, then the top carve was done. That is one 3D chunk of wood, the flames are 1" from peak to peak...huge!!!

Body: 1-pc. Flamed Redwood - Semi-hollow

3-way Mini Toggle (Series/Split/Parallel for Neck Pickup)

Wt: 6 lbs. :eek :eek :D

Initial Tone Report:

This just may be the perfect rhythm guitar. It is incredibly "acoustic-like" when electrified. The sound is very full and well...musical. I could see Glenn Frey strumming on it, while Joe Walsh dug into some tasty leads over it.
This wiring allows for 11 different combos...and there is at least 6 that I just love!
Thank you for your patience Jo, it's been a long time coming...but I believe it will compliment Navajo wonderfully.
