Made by a proffesional Dutch Guitar Company.
It's not a copy of a certain body, but it has a god playablity and it looks realy great.
2 piece 35 mm thick mahogany body with a 22 mm solid top quality birds eye maple top. Both body and neck have triple bindings. Set-in hardrock tiger striped maple neck, with of course the famous ???all access??? neck-body joint. Beautiful ebony fret board with abalone/mother of pearl block inlays and medium-high frets. The electronics chamber is covered by a matching wooden lid. The pickups are two splittable Bo-EL HD-SD 1 humbuckers. For these high-end guitars we have chosen a top quality tremolo (Gotoh 510 T-RS 1) and the best tuners available (SGZ 510/S5 H.A.P.M. locking tuners). The S03-E has also a small sound chamber and a ???cat eye??? sound hole.
Sound

All possible sounds. Two splitable humbuckers can make it sound from a warm bluesy guitar to a right more twangy sound.
I used different amps and the guitar keeps it own sound.
I play blues and rock music and sold my fender strat and my gibson Sg. This guitar does it all!

I don't want anything else. I'm playing the guitar for 15 years now. I've had many guitars. Gretsches, Fenders, Gibsons, Epiphones, Aria's and many others. I sold them all.
These guitars are made of the best possible materials, good hardware.
I have two of these baby's and my next one will be a guitar made by the Bo-el Guitar Company... no doubt
