2008 Soloway Swan in near mint condition; minor playwear on frets and fretboard and some light swirling on the top. There is also a small crack in the ebony neck pickup ring.

Massive sounding guitar, with monstrous, tight low end and amazing clean tones - tons of sustain/clarity due to neck rigidness.

Neck: 27" 3-piece maple neck with carbon fiber reinforcement rods, 16" radius Cocobolo fretboard with mother of pear micro-dot position markers. Headstock veneer and trussrod cover are also done in Cocobolo.

Body: Top is Black Limba/Korina top in Honey Amber Burst with Soloway "S" Soundhole. Body and Soundhole bound in Tortoise Shell with black and cream purfling. Body back is fully chambered American Alder with a center block.

Electronics: Cream/Black DiMarzio D-Activators with a volume and tone for each and standard 3-way switching. These pickups sound ridiculous in this guitar, best balance of clean and dirt tones I've had. Huge amounts of clarity and growl.

Hardware: Hipshot bridge with brass string ferrules and Hipshot locking tuners.

Accessories: Custom Leather Soloway Strap, Soft-shell Hard-case, Vintage Vibe Blade Pickups (huge bandwidth, monster cleans, made specifically for note separation/clarity when two hand tapping). Two extra ebony pickup rings so you can replace the cracked on and still have a backup.

Location: Prince George, British Columbia, Canada

Thanks Techno for the update. I talked to him quite a bit about the guitar, but he seems to have dropped off the planet.
