The Büldog is our warped take on a Gibson Johnny A., but with solid wood, not laminate. And this is smaller than the semi-hollows of yore: much easier to handle. This has some Fenderish aspects: 25.5 scale, maple neck, six-point “vintage-style” trem. There is also more than a bit of Gibson influence here too: arched top and back, humbuckers, four knobs, 3-way. (Click on images to enlarge.)
