I use very high quality parts and EMG pickups, and shape the bodies for comfort and playability. Ultra Light and Mid Weight Electric Guitars in my Standard, Deluxe and Custom Models, along with WW2 Fighter Airplane-inspired Warbird Series. Ultra Light Series have Paulownia bodies. Paulownia is a very light and surprisingly resonant tonewood, and the guitars weigh in at around 5-1/2 to 6-1/2 pounds
, without giving up any tonal properties! Mid-Weight Series have Okoume bodies. Okoume is a relatively light tonewood, and is, again, surprisingly very resonant. These guitars usually weigh in at 6-1/2 to 7-1/2 pounds when completed. All Standard and Deluxe models (TTL Style Guitars) have Hipshot Locking Tuners, EMG T- and T-52 series pickups and electronics, Hardtail Bridges, Strap Locking Systems, Roller String Trees, GraphTech Tusq Nuts, and GraphTech Tusq Saddles (upon request, can be changes after purchased if desired). JM style Guitars have Ash or Red Alder bodies, Fender Mustang Bridges with either Mustang or GraphTech Tusq Saddles as desired, and a Fine Tuning Stop Tailpiece. Fender Jazzmaster/Jaguar Tremolo or Bigsby Vibrato can be installed as desired on Custom Orders. ALL guitars are finished in Lacquer EXCEPT some of the Warbird Series Guitars with Cammo Paint Schemes (SOME cammo finishes will be lacquer, but not all cammo colors can be obtained in Lacquer). ALL Guitars are professional grade instruments. I'm a professional guitarist with high instrument standards, and I make every guitar as if it were for my own use,(and of course, I make and perform with my own Turbocaster Electric Guitars)
