The Peanut remains the
greatest of all Specimen instruments. This was
the first time I have had such an immediate
vision of a completed instrument. The public named it "The Peanut." I had never thought of such a thing. To me, the design is just a shape that tells a story: the story of the stag beetle.  This semi-hollow body electric guitar includes: • One-piece maple neck-through body with glued-on sides • Body carved inside and out into a radial figure-eight shape • 1/4" thick carved phenolic top mimicking the annular rings of a tree • Carved ebony pickguard • Sculpted bell-brass tailpiece • 24-1/2" scale length • Engraved pearl inlays depicting metamorphosis of the stag beetle from larva to mature adult • Ebony headstock veneer bound in herringbone • Single-coil pickup • Volume and tone control |
