Joe Renda asked me to surprise him with a guitar. I've done this before and it's always a pleasure for me. Joe and I traded some emails, I asked some questions. This is what I came up with.
Super lightweight ash body, maple / rosewood neck, celluloid tortoise pickguard, antique radio knobs, 3-way toggle, Lollar LEA-90 bridge pickup, Lollar 1950s-wind soapbar neck pickup.
