A short clip of our beautiful "Paloma" S-Type in the capable hands of Mr. Chris Cox

Enjoy the wonderful, gritty and transparent tones available on our gorgeous “Paloma” '59-inspired S-Type. Demo by our friend and awesome player Chris Cox. Built with a lightweight ash body and finished in a striking aged three-tone nitro sunburst finish, Paloma is our tribute to the late '50s classic era of guitar building. The neck is a medium C-shaped profile with a slab rosewood ‘board with the correct truss-rod adjuster placement, clay dot markers and jumbo frets across the 7.25”” radius for a vintage-enhanced playing feel. The worn and tinted lacquer on the rear of the neck and rounded fingerboard edges lends a wonderful, broken in and intuitive playing experience. The tuners are double-line Kluson with the wonderful Callaham vibrato/bridge for stable tuning with an arm that stays where you put it and without any distracting wiggling and noise. Our usual highest quality CTS, Switchcraft and CRL electronic components sit beneath the full-sized aluminium shielding and aged, mint green pickguard. The distinctive, Texas heartbeat comes from our own Heavy Formvar wound “Timeless ’59” pickup set with the addition of a steel baseplate on the bridge pickup for a little extra punch where it's needed most.

“Evelyn” is our take on a ’63-style T-Type loaded with our new "Timeless '63 Pickups for Tele". Demo by our fried Chris Cox, and recorded on an iPhone using the standard workshop amp and pedal set-up: Fender Hot Rod - OCD - Tube Screamer - Boss DM-2w Finished in a stunning, aged Candy Apple Red finish, the two-piece centre-joined lightweight alder body is mated snugly to a maple neck topped with a dark rosewood veneer fingerboard and our own recipe clay dot markers. The neck has a slinky medium “C” profile that feels perfect in the palm. The vintage-correct 7.25” radius feels slick, and thanks to expertly installed jumbo frets, it has an immediate, string bend-friendly playing feel. The fingerboard edges are rounded to enhance the broken-in playing feel that our guitars are known for. The hardware is Gotoh and upgraded Callaham vintage repro with an aged three-ply parchment pickguard and a hand-cut bone nut. The juice comes from a set of our new "Timeless '63" Pickups wired through the best electronic components, including brass collar CTS 250k pots, a CRL three-way selector switch, and a Switchcraft output jack with cloth-covered hookup wire.

The awesome Jimmy Del (proud owner of our "Rory Gallagher Tribute" guitar) absolutely NAILING the feel and tone of the great man 🍻

Our super-lightweight "Ulyana" has oodles of fantastic and versatile tones onboard courtesy of a duo of "Timeless '62's" in the neck and middle positions with the meaty, bucker-voiced "S92" at the bridge. Fleet-fingers belong to our friend @chriscoxguitar

We had a blast last week filming a demo for our "Gloria '69" S-Type with the uber-talent @chriscoxguitar Chris brought along his Princeton amp and sexy a @kingtoneguitar fuzz pedal so we could record at SERIOUS volume and really capture the correct tone of our "Timeless '69 pickups". Full vid coming soon but in the meantime, here's a little snippet.

A full, in-depth tonal demo of our glorious "Gloria" '69 style S-Type loaded with our all-new "Timeless '69" Pickup Set. Wonderful playing and spot-on tones from the fingertips (and pedal board) of our friend Chris Cox. Recorded on an iPhone. Guitar into a cranked Princeton 65ri (with a 12" Allesando speaker) via a Kingtone Minifuzz MK3.

We built this fabulous Fiesta Red over sunburst Custom S-Type for our friend and superb player Chris Cox a few years ago, but back on the lockdown days we never got to record a demo - so here it is! Essentially a vintage-enhanced early ‘60s style build spec using a soft V neck profile, vintage correct 7.25" radius dark rosewood fingerboard and jumbo frets for an effortless playing feel. Kluson split post tuners and the ever-excellent Callaham vintage repro bridge keep tuning solid, and Luminlay side dots will help light the way on darker stages. The juice comes from a pair of our “Timeless ’62” pickups in the neck and middle with the mighty "S90" in the bridge. The “S90” is designed to add a hefty wallop of midrange presence and ‘humbucker-esque” character, but to retain traditional singlecoil looks and build. So it can be fitted to any S-Type without the need for additional routing or modification. It works superbly, compressing into an edgy yet singing and fluid tone whilst simultaneously interacting dynamically with the volume control to clean up and offer a percussive and distinct singe coil bite at lower volume. Wonderful playing courtesy of Chris and recorded using the dusty and well-used workshop Hot Rod Deluxe amp at volume to demonstrate how each bridge pickup performs using the guitar volume control ONLY to clean up and control the amount of breakup/distortion This shows all the nuance available with this type of setup and the “edging toward microphonic” nature of these early designs. Both video AND audio were recorded directly on an iPhone with zero post EQ to give the most honest, naked demo possible.
