“A feast laid out with every delicacy imaginable. That was the feeling the instrument was meant to convey once in your hands — and that was the philosophy behind the project I was presented with. The goal was to achieve the greatest possible versatility in playability, and the widest assortment in terms of tonal variety. From this premise came the decision to use three custom-wound Alnico V pickups of our own making, a varitone switch, and coil-splitting on the humbuckers. There are many similarities with the Sonora guitar, which you can see on these pages under “Instruments,” but also many visual differences. An instrument to be played — and devoured.”… Let’s Play

“I only knew it had to be as white as possible, thin, light, and adorned with generous doses of pearloid. Three pickups, a free-way selector, a Variatone, and, if possible, an extra compartment on the headstock to make bending easier. I had no idea what kind of music its future owner would play, but that didn’t matter. What mattered was the contagious enthusiasm my client poured into the project and the uniqueness of the idea—an irresistible challenge I couldn’t help but take on with equal passion. Then, when it was finally finished, I handed it over. And with just the first four notes, my client told me exactly where this instrument was meant to go and in which territory it would begin to make itself heard. That was the moment I wished I had brought a pair of boots to get dusty—at least once.“… Let’s Play
