Being the inaugural piece in the Master Design series, meticulous attention from the entire Custom Shop department was devoted to every facet of the production process. Starting from the selection of premium lightweight Alder body and quartersawn maple neck, ensuring optimal resonance and a delightful playing experience. The contemporary design elements such as the 9.5 radius fingerboard and medium jumbo frets seamlessly integrated by John English and his team, along with their consistent expertise in aging the relic finish, expertly blend vintage appeal with modern functionality. The deluxe certificate leather case accompanying the guitar includes a documents unveiling John English's design philosophy, enhancement techniques, and the final masterpiece.

Since its debut in 2005, over a decade has passed, yet due to its superior craftsmanship and limited edition status, the majority of these treasures now reside in the possession of collectors and musicians, rendering them exceedingly scarce in the market. Securing one for sale is a stroke of luck, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to all enthusiasts!
