Sweet looking axe. I´ve seen those guitars in Fuzz from time to time, but I dont think that I have seen one in real life. Very nice finish, photoflame?

 

[Carlström]

nope not photoflame, it's solid wood. Very good quality on all details on the guitar

 

[Plank_Spanker]

Great looking guitar!

Great looking guitar!

No kidding. Really nice, how does it sound?

 

[Carlström]

it has a very warm neck tone while the bridge and middle are more crips, good combination for me

 

[Tone2TheBone]

Wow I like the wood grain. Sweet.

 

[Tinky-Winky]

What does the silver birch sound most like - is it warm like mahogany or more bright like ash?

 

[Carlström]

the closest type of wood to silver birch is spruce, but it's a tad harder than spruce but that's the closest one.
