Private Build Series
Helena
P90 Bridge
Natural Brown
Description
As guitar players, we look for an instrument that feels like a natural extension of our body, a guitar that is a frictionless channel of creativity and rooted deeply in the rock scene of the 60s. A guitar that is unmatched in playability & versatility and that also offers timeless inspiration. The Helena is a result of collaboration with the talented master luthier Angelo van Merrienboer from Panucci Guitars.
The Helena Bridge features a single P90 pickup in the bridge position which in turn helps the strings freely vibrate. A natural brown mahogany finish compliments its straightforward aesthetics and approach, along with a beautiful tortoiseshell cellulose pickguard. All these combinations from wood to pickup make this guitar truly unique.
