Named after the Black Vulture, an electric three string made with a cakemold body. 22.75" scale, 21 frets. Neck made from piece of beech with Brazilian Greenheart fretboard. Handmade rosewood bridge. Woodburned some graphics in the fretboard. Also on the headstock with a bullskull inlay. Handpainted bullskull mandala painting on the back matching inlay on the headstock. Tailpiece made from a piece of skateboard maple and a tooled spatula where the strings attach to. Real cowshorn as leg support for comfortable playing. This matches the whole bullskull theme and looks pretty cool I think. Nice quality finish. Plays comfortable, pretty low action and perfect intonation :) Inside the body there is a spring behind the magnetic pickup. The pickup magnetizes the body so it has kind of a piezo feel to it, you can tap on the body too to get some interesting sounds. This gives the instrument a unique sound, but still with the clear tone of a magnetic pickup. Sounds great acoustic too, with a handcut f-hole to let the sounds out!
