BRETT HUGHES'S BARN BEAM CUSTOM

Brett Hughes talked me into wrapping the sides of this new guitar with rough veneer cut from the same weather-beaten eastern white pine plank that produced the body. I resisted, but he prevailed and, let's face it, he was right. Maple / rosewood neck, Lollartron neck pickup, Lollar Special bridge pickup, lacquered bakelite pickguard.
