The Kreme Dream (I need to come up with a better name...)

Posted by Nobby 1974 on September 19, 2012 at 6:30am
This is a steel Krispy Kreme donut tin, with a sapele wood stair-spindle neck, laminated sapele headstock, maple slab fingerboard (planed to give 1mm lift under high strings), rosewood nut, angle bar bridge, high output EMG select humbuckers with individual coil taps for each (using push-pull 500k tone and volume knobs) and an old gretsch harness. I buried a Krispy Kreme keyring in the headstock to finish it off. It sounds me(n)tal.
