Constantin Guitars Sweetcaster Classic #0009 Aged White Ash

I have added a video demo for this guitar, if you're not into reading long descriptions. :)

Here's another interesting one for you! I recently got my hands on two really beautiful ash bodies, one of them with a transparent white nitro finish, the other one with a soft sunburst. For this white one I had a few ideas, which turned out great in reality.

The base is a rather heavy ash body with a nice grain and some medium aging. However, I was able to keep the weight down to 3.67 kilos, 8.1lbs or 8lbs, 1.5oz. It purrs like a tiger and looks even more stunning in person. 

The neck is a classic C-profile one-piece maple neck with relic treatment and a 9.5" board radius. 21 medium frets and black dots for authentic feel and look. Body and neck are connected with Nectite inserts and screws for easy maintenance and improved tone and sustain.

For electronics I went with a special set from Q-Pickups this time: A handwound Hot Alnico 5 singlecoil set with nickel covers, like you would find them on T-Style neck pickups. The set sounds very balanced with just a slight push on the mids and more output overall, cutting you through every band mix. Controls are classic master volume, 2x tone for neck and middle as well as a 5-way pickup switch. Positions 2&4 are hum-free due to a RWRP middle pickup.

Hardware is all classic Gotoh with the GE101TS tremolo featuring steel block and bent saddles. The Apollo Music Parts trem claw adds stability and sustain to the instrument. Gotoh vintage style tuners add the looks and easy tuning.
