Feather Guitars Warbler Pro 2023 - Blue Nitro

DISCOUNT - CLOSEOUT INVENTORY - LOCAL CHICAGO ONLY

I'm closing up shop on my building due to some life transitions and offering prices at a steal for local Chicagoans. This has been maybe my favorite build ever, but I'm giving the world a chance at it before I just keep it for myself.

The body-hugging curves, vibrato bridge, and three single-coil pick-ups of an S-styled guitar are unmistakable… but this Warbler is truly a rare bird! 

The solid ash body brings firm lows, a slightly scooped midrange, and crystal (but not piercing) treble. Quality ash wood may not be around much longer and is an incredible tone wood (associated with premium 50’s Fenders), and the nitrocellulose finish (standard for Feather) lets the wood breathe. Couple that body with a truly unique neck configuration - pairing mahogany (rare for S-style) with a maple fretboard (maintenance free, excellent attack) and gold hardware with Grover locking tuners… and you see why this is one rare bird - even before the incredible pickups on board.

The variety of tone and character this guitar has rings true to its Warbler namesake - and this is no exception… with Seymour Duncan’s Psychedelic Strat in the Neck and Middle (RWRP) - the next best thing to owning an original 60’s Stratocaster:

“These vintage voiced pickups have the signature psychedelic and paisley underground sound found in all of our favorite feedback and wah drenched extended solos.

Using traditional materials and period accurate wind, these Alnico 5 loaded pickups deliver unique depth and fullness to your sound. On the clean side, they deliver the desired scooped and glassy tones, and when you stomp on a fuzz, you’ll get tight and defined clarity in all positions.” - Seymour Duncan website.

Adding Seymour Duncan Seth Lover in the bridge position…

“…gives you that warm, airy, open tone by striking just the right balance of low-end warmth with a smooth but articulate top end. Chords will have a full, open sound, and single notes will have a soft yet articulate feel. The Seth Lover vintage output humbucker pickups are carefully hand built in Santa Barbara to Seth Lover’s original exacting specs. [Seymour Duncan’s] butyrate bobbin molds are created by the same factory that built the original P.A.F. mold for Gibson. Other key features include … specially manufactured 42AWG plain enamel mag wire, nickel silver cover, 2.5-inch alnico 2 bar magnet, custom machined metal and maple spacers, and nickel silver bottom plate.”
