"Sidon"

6 String Guitar

Sales Pitch:

27 frets for extreme upper-end range, great for right hand tapping. Upper access to the extra frets is also easy with left hand. The guitar is a different take on modern guitar design so it should feel somewhat familiar, yet still very unique. The Wilkinson VS100 tremolo provides adequate tuning stability while allowing for the flexibility of non-locking nuts. Every part of the bridge locks down so there are no loose parts potentially sucking up sustain, unintentional vibrations, or affecting tuning stability.

Woods:

Black limba and chechen are two equally gorgeous and great sounding guitar woods. The chechen fretboard has a beautiful waterfall-like grain with so many natural colors ranging from red orange to black. Limba(AKA korina) has been a well established guitar wood for decades that has recently become popular again with boutique builders. "Black limba" refers to highly figured grain featuring darker streaks and other colors making for one of the most interesting looking body woods for electric guitar bodies. Tonally, single notes soar in the mid and upper mid range with long sustain.

Tuners - From Gotoh:

Gotoh's sleek modern design with compact cast housings and sealed gears, plus Magnum Lock® string posts to help keep tremolo guitars in tune. The post automatically locks the string as you tune. Rock-Solid™ string posts eliminate looseness, for improved tuning stability.
