35" scale, flame maple with purple heart stringers, madagascan rosewood fingerboard, front and back burr black walnut veneer on headstock (with "Gabbie" detail on the rear)

Schaller tuners with macassar ebony buttons

Flame maple (check the sides out!) with figured black walnut bookmatched top and back facings.

Matching black walnut electronics cavity covers with magnetic cavity cover for the battery compartment.

Aw man, bite the bullet - you won't regret it. This thing is simply staggering! (as is my Spitfire!)

 

[Mark Wilson]

Damn, that's gorgeous!

 

[Ryan L.]

Oh, wow!! That thing is hot!!

 

[Ben Lesser]

That's damn nice. Congrats.

cool bass..but lights? c'mon.... I like the Spitfire better

 

[Russ_H]

He he... you don't have to turn the lights on. You don't know that they are even there when they are turned off. To be honest, it's the side markers only setting that is the most useful, the sound to light front setting is only a bit of fun at those carefully selected gigs! (the audience go mad for them for some reason!! - and it's always good for outdoing the egotistical guitarists )
