Michael Spalt Instruments Totemguitar ResinTop 3-Sisters
Custom Boutique Hand-Made Electric Guitar
NAMM Show / Boutique Guitar Showcase Tour Instrument
This Totemguitar ResinTop “3-Sisters” was on display at the 2025 NAMM Show and included in the 2025 North American leg of the Boutique Guitar Showcase Tour. We are now happy to have it on consignment from Michael Spalt.
The "ResinTop" is a unique process marrying a tone wood back with a clear resin coating on the top into which decorations and inclusions can be applied. After experimenting with various types of resin, this process was developed, allowing objects and assorted bric-a-brac to be incorporated into a homogenous guitar body. The resin is formulated to accommodate the thermal expansion and contraction of the wood, and it is sonically transparent.
The wood used for the back supplies the basic tonal characteristics and structural stability, while the wood choices for the neck allow the coloration of the sound to be further dialed in. The resin adds sustain and its tonal effect is similar to a "Maple cap over Mahogany body" effect - sparkle and transparency in the upper frequency ranges. As with a conventional guitar the choice of hardware and pickups also plays a large role in determining the sound of the instrument.
Each guitar Spalt Guitar is a unique instrument, both tonally and aesthetically.
