Hussar #002

An experimental guitar built to test a premade neck and a small supply of reclaimed pitch pine this Hussar is a traditional instrument with a 4th Avenue Guitars twist. The English yew pickguard beautifully compliments the 2 tone sunburst, which was applied using only a blowtorch and great care.

The aluminium covered single coil pickups give a dark bluesy tone to contrast with the bright sound of the custom wound bridge Filtertron.
