Purpleheart Electric Guitar
At first glance I knew this piece of Purpleheart was to become the first ‘Piranha’ in my guitar model lineup. Backed by a chambered ash body this guitar model also uses the Purpleheart wood for the laminated neck, head stock and position dots. Looking at a photo of this electric guitar in the playing position you may notice the piranha-like body shape.
