Craftsman Attempts to Build the Thinnest Guitar Possible
Burl, the exceptionally creative craftsman and luthier of Burl's Art, used his love for lighter guitars to build the thinnest guitar possible. He used a beautiful black limba wood for the body and a gorgeous flame maple for the neck-through fretboard, shaping each to create a narrow profile. He also added colorful pickups. When he was finished, the guitar measured a miniscule 19 millimeters (3/4 inch) and weighed only 4.5 pounds. Unlike many of his other guitars, this one is for sale.
Ever wanted a super thin guitar? Probably not. But if you have, here's your chance. Neck-thru design with bookmatched wings.
