Maximum Comfort

Neck Comfort & Playability

Comfort is often overlooked when creating a vintage-quality instrument.

Many early guitars sounded good and had their own vibe, but back when rock and roll was in its infancy, guitarists had to adjust themselves to the instrument.

Today, when guitar playing is more complex due to the fusion of styles, comfort is crucial.

Hand-Rolled Body Curves

Look closely, and you will see extra rounding on each body curve, all done by hand in our workshop.

Our top-grade 100% nitro finish feels exceptionally pleasant to the touch.

Modified Oval C Profiles

All of our neck profiles are modified for extreme comfort and are not simply replicas of vintage guitars.

Our Oval C standard neck profile is a true wonder and remains a top choice for our clients.

Oil & Coloration Neck Treatment

The back of the neck receives a special treatment where we create an almost invisible, lacquer-free area with a special oil and coloration treatment. This allows for an 'ever-smooth' playing feel.

Customers can also choose a relic option where the back of the neck has a worn, lacquer-free area.

Non-Stick Maple Fretboards

Maple fingerboards receive a special front treatment for anti-stickiness, and the lacquer is applied extremely thin.

All fret edges are hand rolled after precise human leveling and highly polished for a mirror shine look.
