'07 Eastman El Rey 1
14" hollow body -- Solid spruce top, solid mahogany neck, back & sides, ebony FB. Kent Armstrong "Magnum" PU @ 8.74k Ohms. I haven't weighed it yet but it's gotta be under six pounds.
Golly geez, I like that red!
Despite the lack of f-holes this guitar has a for-real acoustic sound, easily loud enough for unplugged practice. Plugged-in it sounds like 12s into an A5 humbucker when cranked but generates some very nice jazz "air" when backed-off.
This guitar is "different" enough that I know I need to spend time with it to learn its lessons. I am committed to hanging with it, as is, for a year. After that . . .
Thanks to Tim Emery at Buckdancer's for making this easy. Time to play!
