It was built by Ron Kirn. It's his Old Blackie model. Essentially it's his take on an early 50's Telecaster. The guitar has a fat c neck with a 9.5 radius and medium frets. It also has a true nitrocellulose finish on a swamp ash body. It sounds and plays great. On my first impression I'm extremely happy with it. I assume I'll only like it better with time.
