~#1-6 String, #2-6 String and #3-7 Seven String of a set of 4~
Hand carved figured maple tops, the rest of the bodies and necks are Honduran mahogany with Wenge or Ebony fingerboards. Abalone crescent moon headstock inlay that shifts position on the 4 different guitars. For the pickups, I scratch built wooden bobbins from wenge and maple, winding each one with roughly 5,000 turns of 42 gauge poly coated wire. Alnico 5 magnets on the bridge pickup and alnico 3 and 4 combination on the neck. The mounting rings for the pickups are maple on the purple and green, wenge on the blonde. All pickup configurations can be split from humbucking to single coil mode through the Bourns push-pull volume controls for that single coil spank! All have 3 position pickup switch, set for neck, bridge or both pickups out of phase, The bridges are Tone-Pros AVT-2 wrap around types for the purple and blonde, while the green one has a custom, solid brass, 7 string wrap around type I made especially for it, held tight with Tone Pros locking studs. The tuning machines on the purple are Tone-Pros Kluson retro style 15:1 ratio, the blonde uses Gotoh mini 510 cosmo black 18:1 ratio, and the green one has Hipshot open back 16:1 ratio. The blonde has stainless steel fretwire while the purple and green have 18% nickel silver. Nitrocellulose lacquer finish on all 3.
