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 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.

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 all the 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.

Midnight

This bass has the same design as the Mammoth bass but it also has many upgrades. It is a five string neck through 35" scale bass. It has an Alder body and a laminated neck of flame maple, curly cherry and walnut and is re enforced with carbon fiber rods. The body is capped with flame maple. The ebony fingerboard has a 12 to 20 inch compound radius and has flame maple binding. The body is shaped on the front and back to make it more comfortable. The bridge is the Hipshot A style, this gives an additional adjustment to alter the string spacing. The tuning machines are Hipshot ultra light. All the hardware is gold plated. The frets are a special gold colored alloy that is harder than standard fret wire so they will last longer. The strings are colored gold made by Aurora. There are custom inlays of gold mother of pearl. One of the most exciting features is the side marking dots are lighted with a blue LED using fiber optics that run through the neck. They can be easily turned on or off when needed.

The pickups are Nordstrand hand made fat single and there is an Aguilar 18 volt active pre amp. Battery changing requires no tools. And there is a bypass switch to switch to passive electronics. This will allow the bass to work even if the batteries are dead.

This guitar is part of a special exhibit called the Blue Electric Guitar. This exhibit is a tribute to the original Blue Guitar exhibit that Scott Chinery did in 1995. This time it is all electric guitars. It will be part of the Newport Guitar Festival in Hollywood Florida in April 2010.
