Fantastic - it looks like it weighs 20 lbs.

Is this a custom build for you?

Yep, I went with pearloid or MOTS as it's called for the body binding and the fretboard binding as a change from Ivoroid. It's got a highlander piezo for cleans and a Lollar P90 for the distortion. You can blend the 2 pickups or separate them. Since I'm a baritone addict, had to have that. They had to hand make the neck, so this one took a long time to build.

One of the motivations to build this is that my band play some distortion stuff. I use a baritone single cone national with a National hot plate (single coil pickup) through a Mark V for that stuff. The tone is a bit tinny since it's a metal guitar and guys in band are always complaining. So, this one, which is a cross between reso and electric, should fill that space a little better than my current setup.

Yeah it's probably a brute for sure. I use leather belts for straps too, not too easy on the back hehe. Maybe it will be lighter than the steel resos I have though.

Here's the hind quarters. I like the fading they did on the neck. neck looks really square too.
