Here’s the perfect juxtaposition of fat, juicy tone and a lightweight semi-hollow build. Tom Ribbecke’s Testadura (Italian for “hard head”) model is a satin-smooth operator with fit-n-finish flawlessness to match the power and dynamism of twin Tom Holmes humbuckers. This beauty was built in 2009 and has been well-cared for since then (hardly any marks!); carved Bigleaf Maple back with Brazilian Rosewood sides and a carved Sitka Spruce top, gold hardware with Koa appointments. A tung oiled neck for maximum lefthand glide, this one feels like wellworn jeans under your palm. All wrapped up in a custom Calton case for safe keeping for those trying times when you can’t be playing—fair warning, this Ribbecke will compromise your ability to make time for much else; it’s hard to put down for any length of time.
