This project had lots of fun little details to keep me on my toes, but by the end I couldn’t be happier with it. It just feels, looks and sounds incredible. The 12” rim has a brass tone ring and is made of Mesquite and Texas Ebony with a Pistachio cap on it. The neck is Walnut and Pistachio, with 20 frets and 4 spikes. It has a Fiberskyn head, Hawktail tailpiece, brass arm rest and Baggs pickup. I think the Mesquite rim adds a lot of bass and sustain to the sound. The Mesquite and Texas Ebony come from a retired builder. The Walnut is from a retired furniture maker and the Pistachio is from California orchards.
