Sweet Spot, the Sugar Dog

Sweet Spot chewed a ham bone
under the barrelhouse porch
The band upstairs was a-rockin
As the joint pitched back and forth

The horn-man blew an artery
The drummer blew a fuse
The sugar dog howled at the rising moon
And gave birth to the blues

(Model 003-90) Hand-carved and hand-painted three-piece mahogany body; bolt-on bird's-eye maple neck; rosewood finger board; standard frets; 25 1/2 in. scale.

This was the third guitar I made. I was out of cash, so I tore apart my old Framus after discovering that it was an OK sounding guitar once all that gothic german mad scientist wiring was torn out. My first fish got the Framus neck, the dog guitar got the fish guitar neck and the Framus pickups. Michael Gibson of the Dashboard Saviours plays this guitar. You can hear it on their third CD, "Love, sorrow, hatred, madness" on Medium Cool Records.

Three 60s vintage Framus single coil pickups; 5-way switch with push-pull phase-reversal for the middle pickup. Chrome hardware and Gotoh tuners. Fully shielded.
