This custom built12 string guitar looks and sounds incredible!
This was a customer commission to produce a hollow body Night hawk style guitar with the added complexity of 12 strings.
From a woods perspective it has a beautiful birds eye maple top and neck paired with a one piece Elm body and one of the most beautiful figured ebony fret boards we have seen.
The body has been carved with a semi hollow route, giving the guitar a lovely resonance when combined with the 12 string set up, and the Elm gives a wonderful warm tone.
The bridge is a Gotoh 12 string, with 1/2 top load and 1/2 of the strings through body, the tuners are alternated Tulip and button, differentiating between the low and high strings of the paired 12 string configuration
When it comes to pickups we have something the customer pulled together themselves, a Dimarzio humbucker that has been reconstructed into the offset configuration, a Kent Armstrong single coil and Bare knuckle mini humbucker.
It has an oak 5 way switch and a shadow kill pot in the volume position, which acts a momentary push kill switch, a first for us, but allows for an almost machine gun affect if pushed rapidly
What we have here then, is a truly unique guitar built to the customers exact specification, that looks and sounds truly remarkable!
