At Ethos guitars, we always strive to turn dreams into reality. And this guitar is a good example of achieving just that. This customer had spent years searching for the ultimate guitar, but despite trying and owning many of the top name guitars, had never found anything that quite achieved this. Not helped by the fact that many manufacturers do not always offer left handed versions, and sometimes only at a price.

Much of the process for building a guitar like this is refining the specification and design. In fact the body shape used was actually the 4 th version of the design, each one being subtly adjusted to suit. Although based on a combination of several recognised styles, the actual shape is unique.

The body construction has vintage influences, a very thick and solid one piece Mahogany body, with the classic book matched Maple carved top. The neck construction is a cross between a set neck and a through neck, with the neck tail finishing just past the bridge.

The neck features an ebony fingerboard, with very individual crown inlays, and the whole guitar is finished with the classic cream binding. Bare Knuckle Stormy Monday pickups were used, for that Vintage sound, along with a one piece bridge mounted on Tone-Pro locking posts for extra sustain.

This guitar even features the correct left handed taper pots, and even left handed knobs (very difficult to find). This example retailing at £1468, this guitar is also available in right handed versions at no extra cost.
