I had this guitar built for me in 2001 and it is my main electric guitar.  It is amazingly versatile, sounds incredible and has the best playing neck I have ever experienced.  This guitar does not photograph well.  In sunlight the finish looks like bursting flames.

Built by Jeffrey Earle Terwilliger in North Carolina USA, the JET Earlewood is a guitar of incredible beauty & craftsmanship.  The number of features are hard to believe when compared to virtually any other guitar.  It has several features that cannot be found on any other guitar available.  Not only is the guitar stereo but it can output "acoustic" sound from the acoustic transducer in the bridge in addition to the magnetic pickups.  This makes it possible to sound just like an acoustic guitar as well as an electric or both at the same time. 

This was the very first Earlewood produced with direct mounted pickups, Birdseye Maple top and Sunset Burst finish.  It most likely is the lowest serial number Earlewood with the stereo piezo option & Buzz Feiten Tuning System.
