BRIAN SAUNDERS'S SPRUCE SPECIAL

Brian Saunders's new guitar: chambered 1-pc Massachusetts barn beam spruce body, mahogany / rosewood neck, TV Jones T-Armond pickup, celluloid tortoiseshell pickguard, volume control, flatwound .012's, Sarah Ryan lightning bug.

Sometimes you cut into a nice old piece of clean-looking spruce and find a nail. After you're finished cursing, you might come to enjoy the stripe of stain that the nail left inside the wood (just above the upper bout strap peg).
