SC-1 6 String for Noel

I've been wondering when someone would snatch up the rare lacewood burl topset I've had for a while now, and Noah is the one!

Here's the specs for Noels 6 string

Neck:
  • Zebrawood centers, wenge strings and imbuya outers
  • 34" scale, stabilized macassar ebony fingerboard
  • Thin accent layer of maple between the neck and fingerboard
  • White Mother of Pearl dot inlays
  • Walnut headstock with lacewood burl overlay to match body wings
  • Full 3/4" string spacing at the bridge


    • Body:
  • Walnut body wings and back
  • Rare Lacewood Burl topset, top covers entire top (neck NOT to show through)
  • Thin layer of maple between the figured top and the walnut body


    • Hardware and Electronics:
  • Shiney Gold Hipshot ultralight tuners and hipshot model A bridge in brass
  • Two Bartolini P4 pickups
