The kerfguitars.com site will shutdown mid-October. Remaining inventory will be on Reverb.com or FBM.
It's an Inca Silver Strat-style guitar with an abalone styled pick guard. The deep coats of nitrocellulose lacquer give both a rich look and feel to the body. One of my favorite aspects is the neck -- it's particularly slim and nicely constructed (likely rock maple neck to get it that slim with rosewood fretboard). Since it came with a full paddle head, I figured it would look cool to do a reverse headstock (with locking tuners, 'cause that trem) and the new headstock shape. Brass block in the trem to improve sustain. Equipped with Planet Waves Elliptical End Pins because I care.Â
UPDATE: This one is available, but my plan is to replace the EMG pickups. They're fine, *I* just can't get a sound out of them that *I* like, and if I don't like it, no point selling it. And even if you only change the battery once a year, it's still a PITA. If you like EMG Strat pups, speak up quick before they get pulled out.
It's a lot of what you expect in a well setup Strat-like guitar, just a bit different. Maybe just a bit cooler. To me, the longer fat strings have a nice bounce to them. Also to me, it feels like less work to lift my hand under the headstock rather than over it to tune. Five springs on the trem, happy to adjust to suit, of course.
Available now for only $475! Go play it at the Rhett Gallery in Beaufort.
