Following three and a half years of designing, prototyping and licensing negotiations, R. Hayes Instruments unveiled the first in a series of unique licensed sculpted guitars. Leading the product line is a Bugs Bunny model with a worldwide limited edition of only 100 pieces. It is not simply a guitar with characters sculpted into it, it is a character “sculpted” guitar with the integrity and value of the Warner Brothers stamp of approval. Sylvester, Tweety and Yosemite Sam models will be coming soon. The guitars are crafted from high grade materials such as top grade maple bodies and Canadian hard rock maple necks with individually carved and sanded bodies to achieve the distinctive character shape.
