Electric Guitars

Bramlett

This guitar is inspired by the rosewood tele used by George Harrison, Delaney Bramlett, and Duane Allman. The original guitar was given to George Harrison. He used the guitar for the "Let it be" rooftop sessions. In 1969 Harrison gave the guitar to Delaney Bramlett. This guitar is made from brazilian cherry, body and neck, and has a chambered body to add resonance and reduce the weight of the very dense wood. The fingerboard is rosewood with mother of pearl marking dots. This also has Lindy Fralin Pickups and a five position switch. It has retro looking hardware and it also has a 7.25" fingerboard radius like the original.

Phoenix

The Phoenix electric guitar has a basswood body with a quilted maple drop top. The neck is laminated alder and maple with a bolt on design. The fingerboard is ebony with mother of pearl marking dots. Scale length is 24. 6.25". The tuning machines are made by Gotoh. The pickups are Lindy Fralin custom hand would P90s. The electronic controls feature a hum canceling center position and a phase reverse switch. With over wound bridge pickup, this is a dirty little rocker. The finish is a hand applied sunburst that resembles glowing embers, and the flame inlay on the head stock ties into the fire theme. This is how this guitar got the name of the mythical bird of fire.

The Panther

The original art work by airbrush artist Cary Hansen makes this guitar a truly unique instrument, but there is more to this beast than just looks. With the Lindy Fralin pickups and five position switch, this cat has some bite too. The alder body also has a back contour and the birdseye fingerboard has black mother of pearl marking dots and a 12" radius, Jumbo frets and black gotoh tuning machines. This guitar has the classic fender style bridge with through the body strings and a 25.5" scale length.

Leopard

This is a very popular style these days. This one is made with a swamp ash body and a leopard wood drop top. The scale length is 25.5". The back of the body is contoured for comfort. The neck is a flame maple and the fingerboard is birds eye maple. All the hardware is gold plated including the bridge which is made of brass. It has Grover mini locking tuning machines and black mother of pearl marking dots. With the stock Lindy Fralin pickups, this guitar has that classic sound with some modern features.

This guitar features a five position switch. Besides the clear twangy sounds that you would expect from a guitar like this, it also has a position that wires both pickups in series, for a more muscular sound, and a position that is in series, and out of phase, for that cool out of phase sound like the in between positions on a Strat.
