This is a handmade guitar in the style of the greatest electrics built in 1959. It&rsquo;s 3.81kg (8.4lbs). Only once before have I played a guitar of this style that light that has a completely solid, 1 piece mahogany back. And Graeme&rsquo;s hand-wound pickups completely nail that airy &lsquo;59 humbucker sound with the sharp attack - almost a single-coil feel. And that top&hellip; that flamey top&hellip; Had to grab a few pics cos this is likely sold. But Graeme is truly open for business. I imagine that the prices in South African Rands would be very attractive to people in North America, Europe, and Asia.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2017-11-30-beautiful-guitar-necks-with-exotic/ Thu, 30 Nov 2017 08:21:48 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2017-11-30-beautiful-guitar-necks-with-exotic/ <video controls preload="metadata" poster="17851394707210233_thumb.jpg" style="width:100%;height:auto;"> <source src="17851394707210233.mp4" type="video/mp4"> </video> <p>Beautiful guitar necks with exotic wood fretboards and custom shaping <a href="https://instagram.com/haywardcustomguitars">@haywardcustomguitars</a> in Woodstock, Capetown.
