One of the best Golden Camphor tops it’s been my privilege to work with, coupled with a Dorset sequoia redwood body, I am so proud of this guitar.

Handwound Ben Fletcher pickups designed specifically for this instrument, based on the single coil staple Hofner pickups, these are loud and clarion clear, a real presence, as Ben says, a lot of steel! They will give your voice a real character and projection, capable of covering any style, from jazz through to brutal distortion, they are a powerhouse of tone.

Hand crafted rosewood tailpiece, really anchors the strings so it’s sounds vibrate and resonate with huge vigor.

The 3 circles cut out was a doodle done onto the body over coffee, and developed into a design theme I followed through the guitar, it’s circular top bout, the motif on the headstcok, even a half moon rosewood knob.

The pickup surrounds were created in rosewood to suit the shape of the pickups, and are partnered with the handmade rosewood knobs, so it has a completely unique look and feel. Kluson tuners on the gold headstock, picked up from the gold behind the circles, Jescar gold frets and slim neck make this a totally unique feel and experience.

I am honoured to have been able to work with this amazing top, and through months of French polishing really allow its full majesty to shine through, only one in the world, so proud
