Comment by ChickenboneJohn on January 30, 2011 at 8:00am: Well spotted Ben..that was known as the "Flying Breadboard", only the 2nd guitar I ever built...2 piece English ash body and the most stupidly thin neck ever (18mm if I recall) maple and rosewood...amazingly it's still playable...one Dimarzio Super Distortion humbucker...subtle eh?
