Conceived in 2012 and delivered a year later, The Hog is a classic mix of Telecaster and something more modern - Charvel, Suhr, etc. I wanted a very light, mahogany Tele with some vibrant, medium output humbuckers (thank you, Mick Brierley, properly pronounced 'pie' not 'ee' as I've mistakenly done in this video) that was hardtail, rattle and coating free and had some good quality machines. The Hog was born. Eric sourced some light and beautiful wood, shaped it all himself, strapped it together and sent it over from his workshop in The Netherlands. I was and remain suitably impressed and the guitar's appearance on stage and in tons of videos has sold a few more for Smitty, I believe.
Thank you and Happy New Year, Eric!
