  • This one is indeed rare. It's a collaboration with my friend Tony Adams. He had the door panel and i gave him a weird piece of wood to build a neck. He bowed it back  which was odd to work with. Thus the Electromuse flexible fretboard. Since it's a slider it didn't matter to be so bowed. We built it in two stages. Tony's go at it then my finishing it with electronics, antiquing, etc. We signed it together too. It's fun to collaborate. Strange things happen...
