A custom handcrafted tele-style 6-string electric guitar with a figured cherry top and mahogany back. Top includes unique wenge, blood wood, figured maple, and mahogany details that match the neck. The solid wood body includes custom carves for fingering access and comfortable playing.

The neck matches the top’s details and has a figured walnut fretboard, med/large stainless steel frets, gold epoxy inlays, dual action truss rod, and Hipshot grip-lock tuners. We wanted to create a comfortable and playable electric guitar. So, we built the Severin ST1 neck based on the 62 Strat C shape neck profile coupled with a contoured carve around the neck plate. To enhance playability and tuning stability we include a Hipshot Fixed Bridge, Hipshot Grip-Lock tuning machines, and Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut and string trees.

As to the electronics, we wanted to create an instrument that would excel in most musical genre’s. That is why we use a Seymour Duncan SH-2n Jazz Model as the neck pickup and the Seymour Duncan SH-4 Jeff Beck Model for the bridge. These pickups have become one of the most timeless and versatile humbucker sets ever built. We’ve matched the pickups with one volume and one tone CTS potentiometers and a 5 position super switch. See the pickup configuration below.

Additionally, we’ve shielded the electronics from interference by coating the control cavities, back plate, and pickup routes with protective shielding material.

To finish things off, we have included Grover Quick Release Strap Locks and a gig bag to protect your new instrument.
