Doing Things Wrong

Body - Ash

Ash is a medium-hard somewhat heavy wood with an open grain structure. This makes it a bother to finish, but the striking grain patterns under a clear-coat are well worth the effort. Otherwise famed as broomsticks and baseball bats.


Solid ash body, 32" neck, active electronics ( stacked tones. )


This is a pack of Duracells I found in my dad's closet. The 'use by' date is January 2002, you can see it right there. Yet, there is not a speck of white mange on them. They have not leaked after over twenty years! These batteries were made in the USA. Modern Duracells are made in China, and are pretty much guaranteed to leak in 20 weeks, if not 20 days. The whole point of alkaline batteries once upon a time was that they didn't leak like acid batteries. You paid extra for that.
