Cool, What are the tone woods?
Well, I couldn’t tell you, but the designer himself seems to say this:
“OK – now I understand what model it is – it is the B.B. Stone model, not
the Flash B.B. model.
In Scandinavia we used the Eagle head as you can see on attached
picture. We sold just 24 pcs all in all world wide I think.
I designed it (like I told you about the Flash B.B.) – but this model
was designed totally from scratch, and not like the other models with
the B.B. names like Flash B.B. aso.
Still with indonesian mahogany body and canadian hard rock maple neck.
It was never imported by Sam Ash or anybody else from what I know, I
think there are just 8 or 12 pcs in the USA and all imported by
Galveston.”
I think these guitars came from one of the infamous Korean factories like Samick, Cort, Silverstar, or Un-Sung Musical Instruments that pump out various brands.
When I go to add more/updated photos… I’m hitting a wall. It’s letting me pick a photo (not multiples) & it will show it when I go to edit… but won’t display on the page…
We are still doing some changes to the programing. We not ever sure what problems they will create. We will check into it. Thanks for letting us know
