" I personally undertake a full pre-dispatch check on each and every instrument before shipping.
Intonation, string height, nut slots, frets, electrical and finish: just parts of my rigorous quality-control routine.
I've transformed rough cut timber into investment grade instruments to last a lifetime, and take great pleasure in finally playing them.
It's not just a job, it's a passion."

Hayes Griffin with his Signature HGT/M5 Model
Introducing our Wildwood series of thru-neck eMandos.
Every build features a multi-laminate thru-body neck & smooth carved heel allowing optimum upper fret access with English Ash body wings, rosewood fingerboard, fixed bridges, handwound zebra coiled humbucking pickups with hardwood bobbin tops, mother of pearl fret markers, 2mm fret wire, handcut bone nut, shielded control cavity and satin nitro cellulose finish as standard.
We are currently able to offer these models in both 4 & 5 string 'super-strat' design but custom options are also available.
Thru-neck designs are inherently stronger than a bolt on and are far less likely to be affected by temperature & humidity changes.
Due to the nature of neck-through instruments, they tend to have better craftsmanship than their bolt-on counterparts.
It takes time to make these instruments, and doing it wrong can potentially ruin the entire project, which is why you typically see neck-through-body options on more expensive instruments, like high-end production models and custom shop designs.
For mass-produced guitars, bolt-on is much easier and cost-effective to make compared to neck-through-body, and this is why it’s the preferred choice for many manufacturers and millions of consumers.
Unfortunately, this can also mean that those guitars don’t have as much attention to detail and care than neck-through models. Read more...
