Rare item, hard to find

Very cool wall piece. It's a poplar body with maple neck and rosewood board with crop circle inlays. The tone that comes out of this setup is actually stellar, but the upper fret access is terrible. I've wanted one of these ever since I was a kid and have since put it up on Reverb of sale, but I'm about to change my mind... I upgraded the Duncan Designed pickup to a Bare Knuckle Abraxas. Fun to play, and definitely gets some attention on stage.

jimmarchi1

that's the one with the aircraft aluminum body? I wanted one too when it came out! I kinda let that dream go after I bought a used Jackson USA V before graduating highschool in the late 90s that I completely failed to bond with.... still, crop circle inlays and a body that's a legit airplane wing? hmmmm.... I am considering buying yours.....

This one is poplar with maple! Killer guitar, but not the aluminum one.
