Flame F1 Quilted Maple Custom

Here are some pictures and detail of a recently completed Flame F1. But firstly, thanks to David for commissioning this guitar. After playing his new guitar for a few days this is what he said about it;

“I’ve been playing the amazing guitar for the last 90 minutes. I’m blown away by the tone, the power, the resonance and the sustain. It makes the Charvel I was playing feel like a cheap toy. What I really like about it is the natural resonance and the natural sustain which means I’m able to play cleaner without having to overdrive the tone to get the sustain. Congratulations on building yet another masterpiece.”
