Mike Delaney of Delaney Guitars and Tony Murga, master leathersmith and owner of

with this project. Without giving too much away, the guitar will be a tele style body
wrapped in leather with a maple neck and Amalfitano pickups. We'll be debuting this
guitar at the Summer NAMM show in Nashville at Tony Murga's booth. Arlen will be on
hand during the show and spending time at the booth as well. We'll post pics as they
become available.
