Genesis of the Custom-I range

 

Issued from a long work with many different musicians, some particular items are coming like a kind of "model". That's the way of the "Pretty Woman" signature taht is in fact the first prototype of the Custom-I range.

However you keep a complete liberty of choice in options as even set-neck of any pickup set, with or without tremolo... It can be "your" one!

 

 

 

Great thanks to André for the pictures of his "Pretty Woman"...
