The beautifully subtle offset-style vibrato perfectly complements the clear and articulate voice of the Mojotone pickups. Careful fretwork and immaculate setup mean easy playability. This guitar boasts great tuning stability but, if you don’t feel like using the vibrato, just slide its button and now it is locked out. Includes hard shell case.

With louder blade style Super’Tron pickups from The Creamery and a compensated MojoAxe wraptail bridge locked down on TonePros studs, this guitar just could not be more solid. The voice is louder, more brash and mid-forward than #001, made to rock and roll. Includes hard shell case.

Completed in 2022.. Tinted shellac finish with antique sunburst top. This instrument features figured maple back and sides with a Sitka spruce soundboard. Scalloped top bracing and radial bracing. Ivoroid binding, pickguard and inlay.
This guitar’s voice has a lovely balance; articulate basses and fat trebles with excellent balance across the strings. It is super satisfying to play and a little difficult to give up to the retail market! If you are within reach of Waterloo, Ontario then I strongly recommend stopping in at Folkway Music to give it a try. My favourite gutiar shop!
