El Camino - Rosewood

This El Camino is a little more upscale than usual! I had the good fortune to stumble across a beautiful slab of Indian Rosewood that was thick enough for a solid body. The grain and colour contrasts are stunning! The neck is flamed maple on walnut with matching rosewood dots. A single Lollar Firebird humbucker and a Glendale half plate bridge give this one some spank (and a touch of class)!
