Sparkler Guitar

This is a guitar I built for my good friend Calea in exchange for my website. This guitar is made from hundreds of tiny pieces of maple. It has a 25.5 scale length, 24 Frets, Maple neck and fretboard, Maple Cap with an Alder Body. It is outfitted with 3 lipstick pickups wired with a 6 way rotary switch and Master Volume and Tone. Tuneomatic Bridge, Gotoh Tuners, Aluminum Nut. It looks unfinished, but I finished it with a hand rubbed Shellac finish to retain the whiteness of the Maple. This is one of my favorite guitars I've built so far, I'm super happy it's going to live with one of my best friends. If you haven't already, you can see the great work Calea does at www.holcombguitars.com
