V 11212
Hauled from the swamps of Barataria and patiently air dried for the last 20 years, this is about as authentic as it gets. Made entirely of Louisiana swamp ash with a bias matched neck billet and body, a lightly spalted top with matching pickup covers and knobs, all trimmed out in an elegant 22 fret ebony detailing of 4ply stacked bindings with gold pearl inlays. Under the hood lies a custom wound set of Dimarzio soaps, balanced for optimum volume front to back, with a hum cancelling middle. All of this paired up with a vibrato package of a B5, roller saddles and locking tuners, this piece is perfect for big dreamy chord musings and stinging solo work. Tonal leanings could be described as thick and warm, yet articulate, perfectly suited for clean to mid dirt amp settings.

V 11211
A beautiful example of natural splendor, this western big leaf maple chevron crotch is set on a bias sawn black limba neck and body, all tied together with details of Bolivian rosewood in a 3ply stacked trimming with gold pearl inlays. Powered by a balanced set of modern P.A.F.'s by Lindy Fralin, and tucked against a 24 fret layout, this is a favored pairing for high volume high gain applications for its ability to remain crisp even under heavy distortion. The first time you strike a G chord on this you will know exactly what it was made to do. With tonal leanings centered in the upper mid rich with a tight percussive lower end, this is perfectly suited for big ripping shimmery chords and singing solo note vibrato.

From the shores of Jean Lafitte comes this beautiful example of true Louisiana swamp ash. Air dried for the last two decades, this piece has all of the lower mid resonance that one could ask for. That overall warmth pairs up nicely with the tight percussive nature of the longer scale in this hard maple billet neck topped off in a tasteful birdseye maple board, all trimmed out in black, and expertly polished by hand for that super slick feel and fluid vibrato. Voiced by a matched set of Dimarzio p90's with a hum cancelling middle, this makes for thick but tight rhythm work and sparkly clean chords but cranks up loud and gritty.
