Stripped down guitars are cool, so I thought I'd strip down my Astola body style (this #17) to a single ceramic, handwound by me Ukrainian Rail pickup and volume knob. While stripping it down, I decided to take away all the wood I could without jeopardizing structural integrity. Then I created some double-sided acrylic mirror inlays that you can leave in or take out - depending on how you prefer it.
The guitar body is ultra light, of course, and made from a smorgasbord of reclaimed wood cutoffs and the neck is made from locally felled poplar with a local maple fingerboard. Finished with eco-friendly Natural Earth Paints' plant-based varnish.
The neck is a classic C shape and a little on the chunkier side, with a slightly wider at the nut for ease of open chords. The guitar is currently strung with 10s and has light and low action. 25.5" scale, 16" radius.
Check out the video to hear a pedal-less demo.
