Just finished off a couple of custom Gothic Supreme (SG style) guitars
The blue one was a customer order whilst the red one is available to buy £2500
They are both a bit thicker in the body than a normal guitar of this style , so sonically they sit a bit between an SG and a Les Paul.
This is a deliberate move on my part to overcome many of the weaknesses that we see too often in SGs
The thicker body prevents the guitar nosediving so much, gaives way superior strength in the critcal neck/body junction and allows the jack to be side mounted - thus preventing the horrid wood tear-out when you accidentally tread on your guitar lead.
The necks are also a 3 piece design of quartersawn wood with a choice rosewood board and chunky Dunlop frets (6100)
Sperzel tuners, Tonepros Tunamatic and locking tailpiece studs(the ones that open up and lock shut onthe tailpiece).
For the tailpiece we chose to use lightweight Aluminium ones and we fitted the Earvana Compensated Tuning nut as well
Pickups on these are both Bare Knuckle
The blue custom order has a set of the rare 10th anniversary Humbuckers.
the red guitar has a set of Emeralds which sound superb and stay tight in the low end no matter how much gain you use.
