Hey Everyone!
We've just completed a guitar we built for Paul, a long time customer of ours. We worked very closely with him to bring his ideas to life. All the shapes, woods and specs were all chosen by him and he's dubbed it the "Jackal". Some incredible woods in this build and a pair of custom etched Bare Knuckle Pickups to boot!
