Inspired by the cars of the fifties.. what better than a Pink Cadillac from 1959.
This guitar has made me pull out all the stops. the body has been beaten to shape by hand over a pre formed tree trunk.. it tapers in every direction to the deadly points of the fins.
The leading edge is shaped by hand to form the shape of the rounded panels on the car.
All welds are taken off and blended
Eager to see what it will look like with lights
29th December I have added the Neck...
An Original set of Gibson Les Paul Kluson Machine heads from that very same year 1959, even with original screws, will be fitted to the Ali Kat Designed Neck.
These alone are rare and a collectors item.
