Mother of Pearl.
Egyptian Goddess. Whack!
So unique in white, right?!
Another great sub $500 pick-up off an American guy on eBay! I’m still on the hunt for a Les Paul, or an SG, but this thing comes pretty damn close! It’s a left-handed Dillion USA Phoenix (made in Korea) which is a replica of a 1963 Gibson Firebird. Their time warp early 90’s web site is amazing LOL!).
She’s heavy, both in sound and weight! Definitely the heaviest guitar I’ve ever owned (some believe heaviness translates to fat tones and more sustain). It’s got an old school painted neck but super low action. Doesn’t feel anything like a metal shredder (typically wider and thinner necks) but it plays great, sounds great and is just an awkwardly unique thing which comes with a right handed bag, can’t sit up against the wall, or on a guitar stand! I love it!
