"This is my custom Blaze Kahuna handmade in Hawaii by Buddy Blaze. This guitar has a sapele body, flame maple neck, 24-5/8"" scale, ebony fretboard, Floyd Rose trem, Seymour Duncan Custom in the bridge and a Little '59 in the neck. This is my ""go to"" guitar because it was my first Blaze and it was made for me. It just feels right, sounds great, and plays like a dream. Blaze guitars just work for me and my style.
