The price of £299 represents a fantastic value – if you were to go into a local guitar store and buy a guitar for £299 you just get the guitar – NO CASE and certainly NO PRO SETUP, NO PREMIUM ELECTRONICS, NO BONE NUT, NO NEW STRINGS etc. All you would get is an off the shelf, production line guitar with no individuality.

Each Guitar receives an extraordinary amount of individual attention. All our guitars are given our pro set up on our neck jig which simulates the tension of the strings while any fret or neck work is being performed. We hand carve a bone nut for each guitar individually and neck relief is set to within measurements as small as 0.001” / 0.02mm. All guitars come with a fresh set of Ernie Ball strings.

This kind of setup would normally cost you over £120+, and that is only if you can find a luthier who has access to a string tension simulation jig. We believe that this approach ensures that every Guitar is exceptional.

The electronics will give you the following control over the sound of the guitar (Click here to see a Schematic):

Bridge Volume Pot:
Pulling out the bridge volume pot control puts both pickups in serial mode and bypasses the selector switch. Thus both pickups will be in series with the selector switch in any position. In this position the bridge volume and tone control work regularly as master controls, while the neck tone control works like a treble booster, brightening up the sound in a broad bucker configuration.

Neck Volume Pot:
The neck volume pot switch puts the neck pickup out of phase. The effect is audible when both pickups are selected, that is in a serial mode or, when the guitar is in parallel mode, with the pickup selector in the middle position. Moreover, when the neck pickup is in single coil mode, this switch selects which coil will be on.

Bridge Tone Pot:
Pulling the bridge tone pot switches the bridge pickup from the serial Humbucker to parallel (dual sound) or, when the neck tone control is pulled too, to single coil.

Neck Tone Pot:
The neck tone pot switches the neck pickup to single coil and, when the bridge tone control is pulled, it also switches the bridge pickup to single coil.


All guitars come with a no questions 14 day money back guarantee and a 3 year limited warranty.
