£1700

Please click images to view full size.

A very different slant on the original NCG Bayou, maybe I need another model name. This guitar incorporates a hand cast copper resin top plate, reinforced with Nomex honeycomb. The body is semi-hollow, distressed and finished in aged black nitro’ over copper leaf.

Pickups are Goldfoils, based on early Japanese / Teisco designs, by Rob Banter at Gemini Pickups, USA.
