The Muse I Adorn

My next project thanks to one of our members turning me on to a great wood supplier. I was going to just order a Gibson Custom Shop but...........
Gibson is using the wrong wood and weight is a factor high 8 to 9 pound range. I'm going to use the same species of wood Gibson used in 1958
Limba body and neck and Brazilian rosewood finger board. It's my dream guitar and will make it a reality.

Played the Supro Hampton today. Gold Foils, 22 frets, set neck, 12 inch radius, Rosewood FB, alder body and 50s wiring. It's a pure pleasure to play. I just don't like vintage style tuners. They work well and match the vibe of the guitar though. I really dig this odd instrument. I can play anything on it.

I'm often amazed at what I could do.
I hope I'm still able to amaze myself, or at least amuse myself...
But I can still hold a can of beer and watch porn so life is good.:pound-hand:
