Very custom....floyd and extra knobs & switches... Take a brand new Vela and make it sound like something other than a Vela....
As long as he likes it......:dontknow:

Take a brand new Vela and make it sound like something other than a Vela....

I kind of looked at like...take a brand new Vela, add a trem (which maybe makes it sound a little less like a Vela)...and make it sound like anything else you want too...

Anybody know how you can get one of these made?

"Oh Man! The guitar really rings out! It was FANTASTIC tonight in Grand Rapids!"

"GREAT Guitars. Ken Parker-not involved. A series of my reps were let go or quit...it got old asking for attention."

"I replaced the fingerboards of 4 guitars MYSELF. Because I knew what would happen if I sent them back"

So does anybody know when (or if) Egyptian Gold has hit the market yet? I really dig this color.

This vela is gonna have a cult following, that Egyptian gold may just find it's way behind glass like Tutankhamen!

I think Moore Music has one in E. Gold.
