A sunburst build from about fifteen years ago

[markwayne]

She was not intended to be a show pony and has been beat on pretty hard. In fact this has been one of my main gigging machines for the last fifteen years. It's quilt maple on swamp ash. The neck is birdseye maple with an ebony board. I took the finish off the neck a decade ago, but no problems after more than 10 years. EMG 60 in the neck, SA in the middle and an 85 at the bridge. Three way switch wired Tele-style (no middle pickup). The mini toggle throws the middle pickup into any combination.  Original Floyd Rose. She's almost through her second set of frets. (I'm going with stainless steel from now on.)

Nice axe man!  :icon_thumright:

Any serious battle scars?

I like scars.

There are loads of scratches, scrapes and, while they don't show in the picture, there are a couple of chips out of the top in places. I also tend to destroy the finish where my right arm rests on the top of my guitars. I like a few scars as well. I think of them as signs of character.

I like it!  Sure doesn't look 15 years old in the pics.

15 years ago people didn't think guitars were suppost to look like that.  Now thats what everyone wants.  Nice! your a trend setter!
