AUSTIN GUITAR HOUSE IS A PROUD DEALER OF
BARTLETT GUTARS
Bartlett Guitars is a small boutique electric guitar company based outside of Toronto, Canada. Their goal is to bring the finest hand made instruments to players from around the world
They build their guitars in very limited batches ensuring each unique instrument gets the attention it deserves, from lumber selection to buffing out the finish – each task is treated as a unique circumstance requiring special attention. These guitars are everything but production instruments.
THE RETROSPEC
The Retrospec's design is the brainchild of the esteemed and talented Swedish industrial designer Magnus Malkersson, Kim Lafleur of Historic Makeovers and Tom Bartlett.
The guitar features all of the same qualities you would find in the most collectable and coveted of electric guitars, the 1959 Gibson Les Paul. The Retrospec is the same size and weight, same scale length and made from the same materials as they were in the 1950's down to the plastic compounds in the binding and inlays.
The Retrospec is made from old growth Honduras Mahogany, Eastern Maple with an Old Growth Indian or Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard.
The guitar is hand made in small batches using tried and true methods of construction. Hot hide glue and Urea formaldehyde is used to join the parts together insuring a tone response unrivalled by modern instruments.
The plastic used in the fingerboard inlays comes from the same factory that made it for Gibson in the late 50;s, and is the same recipe. The same applies to the fingerboard binding, and the body binding.
The Retrospec is finished with true Nitro Cellulose Lacquer made specially for us without the added plasticizer used in modern Nitro Cellulose.
Much of the hardware is made in shop, and it too is made from the same materials that were used in the late 50's.
Pickups from a number of boutique winders who employ the same philosophies as Batlett. Several sets are tried in each guitar to find the best match for each particular instrument.
The Retrospec ships in a custom fitted case with our logo embroidered on the inside.
This guitar is made with the same uncompromising quality as it was in the middle of the last century.
