This is what I call my Dying Crapshooter model: This thing sounds like an orchestra… 24.9 inch scale tuned to full pitch Ladder braced Satin lacquer finish Adirondack red spruce top (Aaron Hix) Flamed Birch back and sides (CarlBarney) Two piece birch neck with walnut center stripe Celluloid nitrate tortoise head veneer ,binding and heel cap (Axiom inc. Bill James) Ebony fretboard and bridge.         Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Very nice, and a big thumbs up on the tortoise shell trim. Is there a story behind that name? |
