Concert With a Conscience is a local charity event to raise money for on-the-grounds needs in third-world countries and to help support the local United Way. Since I'm a strong believer in giving back whenever possible, I decided to donate another custom build. For the theme, I wanted to do something evocative of old-school hotrods, so I painted it flat black and had another local business, KA Cars and Stripes, do the hand painted pinstripes. I purchased the custom knobs from AXX Industries, and he donated the custom strap locks. I love it when small businesses work together for something greater.
Here are the specs:
- Basswood body
- Offset design
- Hand-carved maple neck
- Indian laurel fret markers
- Alpha pots
- Hand-wound custom pickup
- Allparts vintage tuners
- Custom knobs and strap locks by AXX Industries
- Custom pinstriping by KA Cars and Stripes
