I've been a sucker for the Bich shape since forever, but I couldn't find one I really could get along with. So... I decided to make my own. My first was just a means to use some amazing materials I had left, but since then I've build two more. Number two is a bit boring (but sounds so, so, so amazing) but this one, is what I envisioned for years.
I don't care for all the electrickery or preamps, I just want a classy Bich. So, I made a guitar I had in my mind and I hope you guys like this one
