This guitar is the cousin of model 1121. The body and neck were made from the same excellent piece of quarter-sawn Khaya (African mahogany). It has the same basic body shape, and the body is also semi-hollow.  This also features a set neck with a neck stripe that matches the stripe running through the body. There are, however, a few obvious difference between the two models. Instead of a bubinga cap and neck stripe, this one has highly figured maple. And this model sports a Bibsby tremelo.

The electronics feature two Parson street humbuckers. These are closely modeled after the original Gibson PAF humbuckers. They have that same sweat sound and look great with the nickel covers. The rest of the electronics is pretty basic: a three-way selector switch and volume and tone trim.

The scale length is 25”. The graphite nut and roller TOM bridge make for smooth trem operation.

The finish is hand rubbed satin shellac French polish. This is a very traditional type of finish which produces a very light layer that maintains the acoustic quality of the wood. And it looks elegant.

All in all, this is great looking and sounding instrument that will work well with anything from rock and roll to blues and jazz.
