A 6 & 12 string with P-90s



This one I built for my Grandaughter about 5 years ago, it weighs a little more than 4 Lbs.



Our Snowman likes the 50s Capri and my choice is the 1966 Gibson 330 that I bought new in 1967, came with a Lifton HS case with yellow lining.



But this is my player, 1950 Broadcaster

All beauties, and I certainly understand why the Broadcaster is your player.

Well I thank you very much...       I've been doing that 3 color burst since 1976, I used to be a Fender warranty repair station in Tustin Calif. and also a Gibson, Martin and Guild warranty repair shop up until we moved to Oregon in 1983.   It closely matches that of a late 50s Fender 3 color burst, one of my favorite colors.  Both guitars have book matched Sitka Spruce tops @ 1/4" thick with a semi hollow 2 piece Mahogany body, a 5 piece neck made of: (maple/cherry/walnut/cherry/maple) Rosewood fingerboard @ 25" scale, and a Brazilian R/W peghead overlay.  The 12 string has a slim but wide neck, same profile as a 1962 Gibson 335 neck.  The P-90s really sing, one of the best sounding pickups IMO.

The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

Standard set neck with a tenon joint much like a Les Paul.
