My design mission for this guitar was to develop a curvaceous, sexier interpretation of one of the most popular guitars ever. An enormous number of players are attached to that very special guitar as part of their overall image and sound. The Orpheus is intended for those players wanting something a little more daring, a little more unique.

For specifications and more information, see below.

   

Body: chambered cherry with quartersawn sycamore top





Neck: Maple and cherry 3-piece, asymmetrically carved shape w/Ladyslipper headstock, 10-degree headstock angle,
 rosewood fingerboard, 25.5" scale, 24 frets, graphite nut 1.70"









Pickups: Kent Armstrong P90 neck and hot P90 bridge



Switching: volume and tone w/3-way pickup selector... my favorite straight-ahead switching setup

Bridge: Mighty Mite hardtail - one of my favorite bridges of all time. Lots of mass that I can screw down
hard to the guitar body for rock solid sustain w/through-body string ferrules



Tuners: Schaller black six-in-line



Finish: Tru-oil, glossy








This design is available in various woods and several recommended finishes with your own hardware and pickup preferences.
