Guitarist Woody Aplanalp commissioned this instrument.  It was designed around ceramic art pieces created by his wife.  The body is made of Cedar, the neck bird's-eye Maple and the fingerboard Purpleheart.  The electronics inlcude a Fernandes Sustainer, a 'behind the bridge' Lace sensor, which can be blended into the signal, a Z-Vex Wah probe with the silver eyes functioning as antenna, a kill switch and a vintage Bill Lawrence bridge pickup along with a vintage Gibson minihumbucker.   Woody is a master at using all ot it!  He later commissioned a second guitar:   (G 0829 'The Woody).
