'RedThread' was commissioned for Kaki King and takes its theme from the title of her album.

Graph-Tech Piezos in the bridge help transmit the percussive qualities of her playing and can be blended in with the Joe Barden pickups.
Mahogany body, Maple neck with Cocobolo fingerboard. A Bigsby style tremolo with a Schaller roller bridge, Lollar P-90's and Gotho vintage style tuners complete this homage to the 'Who'.
