BRAD FLORETH'S 1.14

I've always said no to purple guitars. This time I said yes. Maybe because Brad already plays two guitars that I made? Maybe because he wrote, "I don't give a shit what it sounds like - it'll be unique." Maybe because Brian Henneman told me that Brad is the best player who plays my guitars? Who knows. I've been looking at it long enough, it doesn't even look wrong to me anymore.

Brad Floreth's guitar: Western red cedar body, mahogany / rosewood neck with extra-large side dots, Lollar Broiler pickups, toploader bridge, volume / tone / pickup blend controls. Weighs about as much as a Dunlop 1.14 pick, which, after all, is the color...inspiration?
