'Sacred' has a 27" longscale neck tuned to D. The vintage clear-bobbin Gibson P-90 with striking green windings combines with a Graph-Tech piezo/hexaphonic "Ghost" system with 13-pin output. The neck is Wenge (excellent wood for low-midrange tones) with a Bocote fingerboard. The body is Mahogany. The controls are grouped according to function - the hexaphonic volume and up-down controls on the upper bout and lower horn, the piezo/magnetic combination on the lower bout.

G0828 'Rys'
Rys Olsen sacrificed an older original Steve Klein body to be 'totemized'. With the blessings of Steve Klein I modified the body, adding art Rys had sent me, and replaced the Steinberger graphite neck with a one-piece Rosewood neck, based on an old original Klein neck I had in hand. A 'BoneTop' pickup drives the Sustainiac.

Woody Aplanalp's second commission (the first is "Woody's Empress", G 0107) is themed 'Tiki'. The electronics are simpler this time - a Fernandes Sustainer and a Lollar Imperial humbucker /minihumbucker combination with two military-grade kill switches. Shark's teeth are inlaid in the fingerboard. Mahogany body with Cedar top, bird's eye Maple neck w/ Cocobolo fingerboard.

G0839 'V8.2'
I had the two vintage Guild pickups, a fullsize humbucker and a minihumbucker, for a while until I decided to combine them in this guitar. Their slick chrome surface called for some shiny brightwork and the massive vintage Ford hood ornament supplied the string-through guide, with the strings passing through tubes to the string anchor machined from aluminum on the back of the guitar. Swamp Ash body w/Padouk centerstripe. Zebrawood neck w/Purpleheart fingerboard.
