Swamp Ash SF3 Lightweight Guitar


Posted on December 4, 2005 by Scott French

"This is a project that evolved a lot from start to finish, but one goal all along was to make a very light guitar. This one-piece swamp ash body was light to start, but I had the face sliced off so we could do some chambering and make it even lighter."
