Crafting Excellence: The Orca Guitar Update

We’re thrilled to share an exciting update on the journey of our Custom Orca Guitar. The creation of this masterpiece is a labor of love, a testament to our commitment to old-school craftsmanship, and a dedication to bringing you the best in musical artistry.

The Heart of the Guitar: White Ash and Padauk Body

We have poured our passion and expertise into crafting the body of this guitar. It’s important to note that no CNC machines were used in the process; each curve and contour was meticulously shaped by hand. The result is a body that not only looks stunning but also resonates with the warmth and character that only hand craftsmanship can provide.

The Fretboard: Ebony Elegance

We believe that every detail counts in creating an exceptional instrument. That’s why we’ve handpicked a beautiful piece of Ebony for the guitar’s fretboard. Our commitment to traditional methods continues here, as the fretboard is processed by hand.

The fret slots are precisely measured and cut, ensuring perfect alignment for each fret. The fretboard is then hand radiused to 12 degrees, a labor-intensive process that contributes to the playability and tonal quality of the instrument.
