Hot axe.

Check out rocker/guitar maker Creston Lea's latest creation.

It was designed for Eric Heywood, an L.A. musician who plays with Calexico, Son Volt,
Freakwater and others. According to Creston, Heywood also rocks out with Minnie Driver. Not sure what that means.

It looks like fine craftsmanship, as usual. I'm hoping to get The Tall Man to put a new neck on my Fender Jaguar.

Better. Faster. We have the technology.

UPDATE: Creston's world-famous bandmate James Kochalka was recently interviewed by a retro video game site. Nerd!
