Last week, I popped to see Haydn Williams to confirm the spec of my new 'St Evo' (Strat-style guitar). While there, as always, we chatted and I asked to have a look at what he had knocking around. After playing a wonderful Mojo (LP-style) and a 7-string Evo, I tried one of his traditional (non-traditional!) Evo. I fell in love with it. I bought it.
Really enjoying this. I already owned an HJ Williams 'Lil '58 (NGD'd previously), a PRS-esque double-cut, which is my go-to guitar for all styles. However, when I played this, I realised that the '58 just wasn't quite cutting it for heavier sounds. It's a different neck profile, similar width and size but flatter.
Photos are a bit washed out unfortunately - it's more vibrant in the flesh.
Spec:
Buckeye curved top on one piece swamp ash body
Ovankgol and wenge neck
Seymour Duncan Pegasus and Sentient pickups
Schaller Hannes bridge

As soon as I saw it I saw a first person view of a dying soldier laying on his back looking to the firey sky through the Ardennes forest during ww2.
The black in the centre is a deathly goat greeting him.
I don't know why I'd see that.
I've never seen wood like that before either, its great.
