L&F Ballardeer

This was inspired by Russ Ballard’s “Holey Fender”. It is most definitely not a direct copy.

It started out life as the cheapest possible S-Style guitar on Amazon.

But I transformed it into this and of course, Steve Vai signed it because he was so impressed 🙂

It turned out to be a very heavy slab of MDF, so the holes have helped a bit with the weight relief.
