BLAINE BILLINGSLEY'S CYPRESS CUSTOM

Blaine gave me some cypress, a lightweight wood I've been meaning to try for quite a while. Maybe it was because I was predisposed to be excited about the wood species that I let him talk me into push-pull knobs and mini toggles and big brass bridge plates. Don't start getting excited, Mr. Guitar Enthusiast, I'm still going to make you suffer my less-is-more lecture. Blaine's features a 1-pc maple neck with an extra fret, a push-pull splittable low-wind Lollar Imperial humbucker, phase-reversible Lollar Vintage bridge pickup, toploader brass bridge plate from Michael at Armadillo, transparent sunshine yellow nitrocellulose finish, locking Sperzels. Watch out for Blaine.
