BACKSTORY
Beetle shit, beetle shit, beetle shit! The difference between black and white Limba/Korina is the location on the tree. Black is harvested by the trunk because that's where the concentration of toxins go and change the look. The heavy toxins are from ambrosia beetle waste. That's where these lovely streaks come from- beetle shit. Decorative skid marks in the lumber. Kinda gross, but very cool looking. There's some weird stuff out there that we try not to think of. Did you know honey is basically a byproduct of plant sperm and bee saliva? Did you know that Jello is made from pig flesh? Did you know that your dog's "bully stick" chew toys are made from bull dicks? What if I told you The Republic is now under the control of The Dark Lord of the Sith?
Anyway...
The body was up for grabs on the Warmoth site but the neck was ordered custom from Warmoth. I tried putting it together myself but a friend of mine had to fix my mistakes. I had no idea what I was doing, but the EMG plug in pickups were very easy to set up. The guitar is so damn heavy that I never played it standing up.
