Thanks Parma_Telemon,
I cut that maple in 1992,,, I've still got the best piece but I'm getting down to the last of it. It's hard to tell just looking at the guitar but it's chambered and the top is carved to .18 thickness consistantly with the curve,, also it's a one piece top.. Those lipstick Humbuckers pickup quite a bit of the acoustic tone when played on clean settings. The Back2Blues Fest gets better every year, one of my favorite parts of the whole weekend is drawing the winning ticket for the guitar and handing it over to the winner..
The first year I did this the winner was not present but last year he was. It turns out that the guy has been on dialasis twice a week for the last six years and has been needing something to do as an outlet. We hooked him up with a good teacher,,,I'm courious to see how far he has progressed this year.
We raised $2800.00 on $5.00 raffle tickets to donate to the well drilling ministry last year. I'm hoping to do at least as well this at this summers Back2Blues Fest.
