"MUFFINS"
The LACS team took full advantage of the creative possibilities on this custom Talman, opting to create something which offers a captivating blend of classic Talman styling mixed with contemporary, custom elements. This Talman is coated in a rich, fiery Trans Red finish over an intensely figured Flamed Maple top. The design is further complemented by the dark tones of the Pau Ferro fretboard which helps cap off this Talman’s lavish and luxurious energy. The back of the instrument also hides a surprise or two in the form of neck-thru construction and a solid, Metallic Red finish which plays off of the Maple and Purpleheart in the neck and center block. As far as the name is concerned, “Muffins” is a bit of inside humor from the Custom Shop team. They take their work of crafting these special instruments extremely seriously, but always like to keep the mood light and have some fun in the process, and since the Talman is definitely one our more offbeat, fun-looking designs, the spirit of name is well suited to this instrument.
