Hours of Guitar Tech 'hands on guitar' time

With over 10 years of guitar tech experience building, modding, upgrading and fixing guitars, I give each guitar the individual attention it needs to get the most out of them and give my customers a fantastic feeling and playing guitar at an affordable price.

Hand Polished, Dressed and Leveled Nickel Frets

Nickel frets provide a durable and smooth playing surface for nice and easy bends, without the tonal sacrifice of other materials. All the fret ends are also hand-dressed for playing comfort.

HSS Configuration
The perfectly paired K Douglas pickups are wonderfully suited for ALL genres and styles of playing. Providing clarity when you need it and a bite when you want it.

**This guitar has a couple of very minor aesthetic issues: there are a few marks on the body from the construction, but nothing big and nothing noticeable from 2 feet away. One small finish dent on the rear of the body, some scratches by the trem block on the rear of the body.
