Started out as a 12 string "Stratocaster" style "DYI" guitar on eBay in April, 2020. I tried to think of design that suggested "Blues". I thought of "Honky Tonk Blues" and the next obvious thought was Memphis... Beale Street. "Met a gin soaked bar room queen in Memphis". From The Rolling Stones' "Honky Tonk Women". I searched a treasure of images and finally melded them into this hybrid Beale Street design complete with Honky Tonk Woman in the foreground. I worked on it for the next 5 years, off and on at my leisure. Completing it in March, 2025.
The body is poplar with tinted lacquer airbrushing and 6 layers of clear lacquer finish. The neck is maple with rosewood board. My "dr" logo is inlaid in mother of pearl over walnut on the 12 string headstock.
