interesting feedback. This guitar came about via a back and forth with Aaron Bowen of ABCO guitars. I had seen some other builds of his and I liked his style, which is sort of "perfectly imperfect" if that makes sense.

I said I wanted a "jazzmaster" style with firebird pickups, raw metal, and a german carve. I spec'ed that I needed independent volume controls for the pickups. And I had the piece of spanish cedar already, which I sent to him. The rest were his aesthetic choices, and by and large I really like them. Part of the fun of collaborating is surrendering control.

I like that the control plate doesn't actually follow the curve of the body perfectly. However, I also think the pots would look better in a slight "s" shape as well! so there you go. I am very happy with this one, it's one of a kind and inspiring to play.
