This very special guitar was designed by Charles Whitfill in conjunction with Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top. #4 of only 50 built.
Billy Gibbons got the first three!
Features a custom pickup configuration with double coil bridge pickup and Deceptor hidden neck pickup. Incredible tones!
Features include a very light and resonant swamp ash body, custom pickups, custom pinstriping and 1 piece maple neck with a 10" radius maple fingerboard!
Please Note where the nitro/finish on the neck has rubbed away with play. Not a problem just want to make note. Very Fast Neck and Low Action.
Otherwise the guitar is a Light Relic with some pickguard strum marks. This Tejas is a real resonant beauty.
