"Polina" the Obeche T-Type

£2,700.00Price

Blending some the best of best vintage-inspired tones available with a modern feel and stunning aesthetics. 

  • Description and build specs.

    “Polina” is a non-too subtle blend of different styles in one stunning package. Beginning with a contoured T-Type body carved from lightweight and resonant Obeche (which has the best tonal qualities of ash and Korina but with a very stable weight) coated in a double finish: a full three-tone sunburst lies beneath the striking and vibrant Lake Placid Blue - all aged to taste.

    A body this traffic-stopping needed a neck to match so I went with a reverse big headstock S-Type neck - a decent C-shaped carve topped with a meaty slab of rosewood and medium/jumbo frets to make effortless work of the 9.5” radius. Pearl dot markers light the way…

    Gotoh split-post tuners and a three-brass saddle ashtray bridge anchor the strings. For the juice, I chose our “Broadcaster” bridge pickup mated with one of our A2 magnet PAF Replica low-wind humbuckers in the neck offering the best of both LP and T-Type tones. Choose between them via a three-way toggle on the the upper bout Gibson style, and tame them with the master volume and tone controls set in a familiar S-Type position with the volume knob nestled just beneath the bridge for those volume swell moments.… a hand-cut bone nut and the usual top-notch CTS and Switchcraft electronic components round out the spec.

    The overall feel is best described as enhanced-vintage and the combination of a lightweight build, solid hardware and our open vintage inspired pickups create a unique tone - both resonant and focussed that really allows the player to find their own voice to craft truly musical tones. And importantly look THIS GOOD when doing so.
