Tonewood
Standard Wood Options
​
BODY:
-
Alder
-
Khaya Mahogany
​
Alder and Khaya are both tonally balanced choices - With Alder being just slightly brighter sounding. Choice between these two is mainly cosmetic
​
Pictured on the right with natural finish
NECK:
-
Sapele - Maple
​
My personal favourite combination of neck woods - Depending on instrument neck plank will be 5 to 7 piece laminate combining Khaya Mahogany and Hard Rock Maple
​
These two combined with Ebony fingerboard delivers full-bodied and balanced tone with clarity across the board.
FINGERBOARD:
-
Ebony (African)
​
I am mainly using Ebony Fingerboards in my instrument - This is due to the fact that it is one of the most durable options - And it sounds just right!
​
Several options including Standard, Exotic & Green Ebony

Handcrafted to Your Measurements
Neck Specifications
​
CONSTRUNCTION:
-
Bolt-On
​
As a Standard all instruments are with Bolt-on construction - It gives you stronger initial transient which translates to more attack. And as long as neck pocket is done correctly you won´t loose any sustain compared to Neck-thru or Set-Neck.
​
​
NECK PROFILE:
-
Crafted to your Specifications
​
The Most important feature in guitar when it comes to Playing Comfort - Neck profile must fit like a glove!
​
I also urge you to try out Raato Asymmetric neck profile which is thicker on the bass side and goes slimmer towards the treble side - It gives you effortless access to fretboard.
​
​
SCALE LENGTH:
-
Any Standard Scale length up to 28,5"
-
FOR MULTISCALES: Any Scale lengths with Neutral (vertical) Fret on the 9th
​
You can choose Scale Length to match your needs - As an example standard Gibson Scale Length is 24,75" as compared to Fender 25,5"
​
As for Multiscales I recommend 0,25" change to scale length between Strings - This will give you still very natural feeling when playing Eg for 6-string 27,75" - 26,5" / 7-string 28" - 26,5"
​
WHY CHOOSE MULTISCALE?
Two main reasons:
1) Playing ergonomics - Multiscale gives you more natural wrist position when playing across the fretboard - And if you think how your fingers travel, it matches very closely to multiscale fan created by frets
2) Lower tunings - You´ll get longer scale for bass side while still maintaining shorter scale for treble side for easier soloing.

-
Any Standard Radius
​
Fingerboard radius means the curvature on the fretboard - You can choose one to your liking from 7,25" up to 26"
​
As an example 7,25" Radius is familiar from vintage Fender´s and is very round - As compared to 26" Radius which is almost flat
​

Size: Vintage, Vintage Jumbo OR Jumbo
​
You can select your preferred Fret wire from following sizes

Finish Options
​
BODY COLOUR:
-
Natural
-
1-Colour Stain
-
Aged
​
BODY FINISH:
-
Satin Clear Coat
​
I personally prefer to see the beauty of the wood and I use Dyes & Stains directly to the wood - Which is why as a standard option you won´t find any solid colour paint jobs.
​
Aged option will give different results depending on the wood it is used - It gives wood natural weathered look. Especially beautiful with Khaya & Sapele (as pictured on the right)
​
​
​
NECK COLOUR:
-
Natural
-
1-Colour Stain
-
Aged
​
NECK FINISH:
-
Satin Clear Coat
-
(Oil/Wax)
​
As neck finish I recommend 2k Satin Clear Coat - It feels smooth and won´t get sticky even on the hottest summer nights. And most importantly - It is durable and gives best protection for the neck.
​
Oil/Wax treatment can be done too - But with disclaimer that It will require more maintenance from You.
