"Esmé" is my take on the classic twin pickup “solid guitar” but with a few subtle tweaks to improve neck strength. Featuring a one-piece body with three-piece laminated neck for added strength (the headstock won't break off on this one) with a bound rosewood fingerboard and 22 jumbo frets on a 12" radius and handmade bone nut. Hardware is all high quality Gotoh and Kluson vintage repro with our Eternal “PAF Replica” pickups wired through a twin volume and tone layout using CTS brass collar pots, and a Switchcraft 3-way toggle to a Switchcraft output jack. The aged finish is all nitro aged “Pelham Green” with white plastics.
