The Fatboy is truly a labor of love for Hitone guitars. Designed by Robert Baker, this guitar pulls elements from many classic guitars. The top and bottom archtops were hand carved. The center section consists of a mono-frame made from ash. An ivory binding was added to the body, neck and headstock and the guitar was finished with a translucent orange.

It took many months for this one-of-a-kind classic. It was painstaking work, but the end result was worth it. Much of the process was documented and can be view here.
