Electric Guitar Design in Action

My freind and client, Alejandro Escovedo and Bruce Springsteen at the Stone Pony both playing my guitars. And video to prove it. These guitars I made for Al to tour with. They both are examples of vintage inspiration modified to be the best they can be, both musically and as a solid, predictably flawless tool for the performer. The necks are carbon reinforced creating enduring stability and vastly improved tone. The guitars also have static, hand-made non adjustable bridges which again are drastic improvements in tone versus the adjustable tune-o-matic style. They are finished by me by hand with nitrocellulose lacquer. The result is a guitar that sounds great and can be travelled without the neck moving, it simply doesn't need to be tweaked. The action is always like I set it, the sound improves with time and use. The best of vintage and modern design.
