I did a lot of careful planning and wood selection before I began the work of building this guitar. Its beautiful hand-carved swamp ash body, with quarter-sawn flamed maple neck and Sperzel locking tuners, make the Sapphire a real gem in every sense. The 3 EMG single coil pickups deliver warm and powerful vintage tones with lots of sustain. The body has been finished in a vibrant emerald green, while the neck has been finished in a deep vintage amber..

It is a beautiful sight to behold!
