Default SN 1192, Michael's Fanned Fret Thinline

Michael asked us to build him a custom Thinline Halfling Guitar with a fanned fretboard and we thought it was a brilliant idea!

Our resident genius, Mike, is working on the custom neck: (with a little help from Charlie)

Default Neck details

Michael's neck is built from Birds Eye Maple with a custom, fanned fret, ebony fingerboard. I love the details in the ebony and the shooting stars in the maple!
