This guitar is 33 inches long and was
conceived in order to travel in plane cockpits to avoid
damage during flyght transports.
It is particulary well balanced, and you will find even more
comfort and playability than a regular instrument.
It has a standart 24.562” scale lenght.
The neck is made of very old mohagony and is reinforced in
its center by a piece of rosewood.
Two carbon rods are inserted against a double way
adjustable truss rod.
The frettboard, made of ebony, has 22 frets and is radiused
from 12 to 16 inch.
The peg head is thicker than usual and is reinforced on its
front and back faces by a thick veneer of rosewood,
with a hill on the back side. It is glued to the body, and
bolted with four srews.
The base of the body is made of mohagony, and the top is an
assemblage of curly mapple in the center and rosewood on
the sides.
The overall is hand carved, arched on the top and curved on
the back and gives a perfect comfort while beeind played.
It is equiped with a jazz humbucker at neck position, two
noise less single coils, and the tremolo bar is mounted
with RMC midi saddles,
controled by a volume and tone for the humbucker &
single coils, and separate volumes for the midi and piezzo
output.
The instrument is sealed and finished with polurethane.
