Abby: From Concept to Bench- A Custom Baritone Guitar Build

Meet Abby.

Abby was originally conceived because the owner wanted to explore the depths of lower tunings that a baritone guitar can offer but there was not a guitar available that could offer him what he wanted. So the process began...

Abby has been designed and sculpted to the owners desires. A true collaboration of different skills and talents.

The electronics on this guitar include the Sustainiac, a phase switch, a pickup blend knob and a piezo blend control. These were developed by the customer himself. He even made some improvements to the Sustainiac circuit!

I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to bring everything together in this outstanding custom baritone guitar build.

Abby is in every sense one of a kind!
