Off in the mystical Appalachian mountains resides a smith. A luthier beyond mortal comprehension. A sculptor of shred! His constructions are of mythical caliber. One strum can bring an entire army to its knees! Here at EMS we are, when the conditions are right, blessed by the great Dave on occasion. When the air is cold and rains drench the soil, it is said he emerges from the fog to deliver us one of his many weapons of shred. On this day, he bore us a mighty axe!
Just kidding! Dave is still pretty dope though.
Hand built by Dave Johnson right here in Nashville, Scale Model Guitars have produced some amazing instruments and this one is certainly up to his high standard. If you've never played a 9-string guitar before, you're in for quite a treat with this one. Imagine all the jangle and sparkly chorusing of a 12-string on the treble side, but all the chugging and riffage of a standard 6 string on the bass side. The best of both worlds awaits you.
Fashioned in his signature double cut MK body shape, this pelham blue beauty is constructed of solid mahogany, finished in nitro, and complemented by a comfy mahogany neck (0.82"-0.92") with a 10" radius ebony fretboard and a nut width of 1.66". She's loaded up with a pair of Lollar Imperial humbuckers (7.41k N, 8.27k B), and weighs in just shy of 8lbs.
This sweet SMG is brand new and ready to rip. Our expert luthiers have given it the seal of approval and a clean bill of health, and assured that it will land in your hands with easy action, spot-on intonation, level frets, and zero buzz.
