Here's a cool new piece that just came off the bench, and we're really pleased with how it came out!

This is a custom Flyer 13" with a distinctly "jazzy" personality -

Custom features include:

-Dual soundholes

-Dimarzio PAF magnetic pickup

-Tune-o-matic height-adjustable bridge (with interchangeable wooden upper bridge for a more acoustic-like tone).

The client specified an instrument with good feedback resistance and sustain, so we designed a thicker-than-usual top and some special bracing.

The result is a perky, responsive, and authentic "jazz box" tone in an extremely comfy and portable package, with none of the clunkiness, fragility or feedback of a typical "L"-style guitar.

Most amazing of all, this instrument fits in our "baby"-sized Gryphon case, making it the largest-seeming small guitar we've ever come across!

Videos coming in a few days of this super-cool axe!
