BB3-1 (Back Bender)
Body: This guitar screams "ergonomic". It naturally conforms to the player's body. No un-natural flat, board-like surfaces or edges that were popular in the 1950s (because that was the only way they knew how to make them). KOZM Guitars are made the way electric guitars were meant to be made - for human beings.
This BB3 is made with maple in the center "spine" area, and Pacific alder in the outer areas. The lighter alder helps keep the weight down, and provides a nice acoustic balance to the denser, stiffer maple.
The body is also "organically chambered", which reduces the weight even further. Scroll to the bottom of this link for more information on the chambering process.

Sound: With its 2 humbuckers, Tune-o-matic bridge, 24.75" scale length and maple spine, this guitar exists in a tonal space that is somewhere between a Gibson Les Paul and a Gibson SG. Great sustain. Nice treble from the bridge pickup, and a rich, deep cooly-jazz sound from the neck pickup.
