When Jason Pickard started formulating a design for a hollowbody electric guitar, the term "Electric Spanish" was inevitably the perfect choice. As a guitar maker who spent over a decade building exclusively in the spanish classical guitar realm, Mr. Pickard is extremely passionate about adding an acoustic element to his electric guitar line.

"The main focus of my "Electric Spanish" model is the use of solid wood plates. Quite often on production hollowbody electrics, they're constructed with layers of thin veneers that are glued in a mold to have arched tops.....so these are laminated tops, which is a real "no-no" for acoustic guitar makers. I always heard horror stories that players were worried about feedback and I wondered if that was the reason that larger companies weren't using solid wood. After all, most jazz archtop builders are carving out solid tops so we know that it works, I wanted this to be a Rock-N-Roll guitar hands down. So there's a bit of "mojo" going on inside this guitar that allows me to get the tone from solid tops and backs, but not the feedback. I'm very proud of this guitar, and I hope that guitarists will welcome the sound it provides."
