I was intrigued by this special run and wondered what SD humbucker was being used, so I emailed Spencer Brown.

Here is his reply:

Hi Craig,

This was a fun little run. One of our wood suppliers had this chunk of flamed cedar and we literally just decided to see what we could make out of it. We got 10 tops out of it so we made ten guitars.

The pickup in the neck is a Duncan Jazz SH-2N. It's definitely got a different flavor to it. Much more hollow sounding than the regular Bluesboy to me. I think the Cedar tops are really lively. It's got a 5-way blade switch for a bunch of different tones.

1 neck humbucker
2 neck split
3 neck hum and bridge
4 neck split and bridge
5 bridge

Let me know if you want any other info on this.

Thanks,

Spencer

Hey Spencer,

Great job! in the words of Vince Welnick (RIP) and the Tubes "She's a beauty". The top is sweet.

I really like the lettering on the back of the headstock, and all limited runs need that numbering. IMHO

That could quickly be on my wish list, if not for the recent Jorgenson. But who knows. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for all the info Craig! And Spencer of course. She is indeed a beauty.
