After spending the last couple of years developing the Novus and Mako as regular models I realised they are quite involved and for them to be at there best require new parts which was against my remit when I initially set up business. They are relevant to my business still as they still use reclaimed wood for the bodies.
Over the course of a few years I have amassed a fair few parts like TOM bridges and control plates and broken scratch plates and old machine heads and lots of pickups. Pretty much everything you need to make a guitar but the trouble is spending time on a guitar which I'm not going to make any money out of when I go to sell it.
So I have designed one that is super simple. Made from reclaimed or sustainable wood. re-used necks ands parts. the only new things will be the electronics and maybe small items like strap pins and screws. I also have to be able to sell it at a low price and make some sort of profit.
I've called it the bomber for no other reason that I liked the name.
This is a great design I initially made one out of scaffold board but it was a little too warped and the geometry wasn't quite right so this one is made from 3 pieces of reclaimed pine with all the old saw marks and knots etc. It's actually pretty stable as it's quite old and had a nice ringy tap to it.
This body shape is really waste free the only waste being the knee rest as the lower cutaway was already taken care of by a slight shorter length of wood. There is a chanfer to the top edge too for a bit of comfort.
These guitars come
The finish Is pretty green. Sealed with Danish oil then the aged stain effect is applied then it has two coats of matt lacquer which isn't ideal but necessary for this particular one for a nice finish. The aim wil be to have a just an oil finish if I can.
These guitar will come with no BS attached just plug them in turn it up and play the damn thing! .
