Another one from my recent Asmodus Luna haul. The wood grain pattern reminds me of the wooden surfboards from the 70’s. I’ve got the Asmodus Bunker on top.

(And sorry, I still don’t know how to flip pics vertically. Yesterday, they were loading upside down :( )

    I always enjoy the pictures of your guitars. They bring back fond memories of when I played in bands off and on (late 50's to late 90's). I only have pictures of a couple of mine... one from the mid 60's and one from the early 70's. The 1963/64 Framus Strato Deluxe and its hard case are long gone, but I still have the 1972/73 Martin Sigma GCS-6 Grand Concert in its factory case. I never did play it much though before I switched to keyboards in the late 70's. The keyboards are also gone.

    The Martin is a beautiful instrument, but that Framus is absolutely mouth watering. Hard to find that level of fit and finish from a major manufacturer these days. Those pickups are killer as well.

    The Framus cost a fortune compared to my other guitars, and became my No.1 solid body guitar when it finally arrived from Germany. In the bands I played solo and backup rhythm in it was always the one that was drooled over by other guitarists and others when we played in concerts, etc. Another tidbit about it FWIW, the early 60's Framus Strato Deluxe 3 Pickup w/HSC guitars was one of the very first models to have a 'pinkie' organ knob for volume control when you were playing them.

    A very long time ago I thought about designing/building my own solid body guitars. While I had the design, woodcraft, electronics, etc abilities to do so, my life was in the fast lane most of the time so it never happened. Now that my life is only slow, slower or stop I don't have the eyes, hearing or physical abilities to do so anymore. I've known a few other folks who like you make guitars, so I have always enjoy seeing their/your creations though.
