Esperanto

The Esperanto model s the perfect collision of natural elements to skillfully craft a true modern vintage electric guitar. Among many of the finest I have had the privilege of being caretaker to a rare 1932 D'Angelico Snakehead and 1936 Kalamazoo era Gibson (Female made) Montgomery Wards WW-1 Arched top. They are my muse! These two have cemented the way I listen too, source materials and especially how I craft all of my custom order and case study instruments today. From the inspired 1936 V -D "full tenon" set-neck construction to the detailed herringbone purfling, real celluloid binding, precision fretwork to the acoustical voicing of my custom-wound 57 Goldie PAF replica pickups that can be wired to split and run in series for a variety of articulate, rich and mature voices. Then down to the very way it feels in your bones when you hear the ring of every note blossom from within its chambers...Every single timber utilized for crafting the Esperanto models is carefully selected from my collection of premium tonewoods including age-old Honduras Mahogany for the back and neck, AAAA flamed Old stock Michigan maple for the laminated 3-ply floating top construction suspended over the deeply chambered semi-hollow design. Premium figured Amazon Rosewoods, Cocobolo, Zircote or Stripped Ebony for the fingerboards provide deep, crisp and balanced responses in combination with the rest of these instruments. Our lower bout E hole allows for a more focused and acoustic feel as the volume is not lost to the mass of the body. The German-made harp form Tailpiece is a resonant and functional component on its own and like the floating top, it has a definable tonality and voice that equals the sum of its parts. In a world full of instant gratification and too much information to enjoy ..pause and experience the language of the soul.A universal language that is yours for the taking. Esperanto is the voice of the symphony which belongs to the trees.
