The Kestrel - Lime Burst
I wanted to build a guitar for players who demand power, precision, and aggressive tone, one that lends itself to heavier styles of playing. Made from Ash, my Kestrel provides a sharp, clear sound with a strong, punchy midrange. Paired with a Maple neck and compound radius ebony fretboard, it offers exceptional stability and fast playability, allowing for smooth, effortless movement up and down the fretboard. The stainless steel frets add durability and a sleek feel, ensuring that every note is clean and precise, even during the most intense playing sessions.
Equipped with IronGear Pig Iron over-wound pickups, The Kestrel delivers a high-output sound with a rich, full tone and a sharp attack, ideal for those who crave a heavier, more distorted sound. The Steam Hammer switched pot allows for easy tonal customisation, giving you the flexibility to dial in everything from thick, saturated leads to crunchy rhythm tones with ease.
To ensure optimal tuning stability, Gotoh locking tuners are included, offering precision tuning and quick string changes—perfect for the high-energy player who needs reliability on stage or in the studio. Finished with a striking lime burst stain, the Kestrel not only sounds powerful but looks the part too, with a bold, eye-catching finish that stands out from the crowd.
The Kestrel's combination of high-quality components and aggressive design, make it a guitar built to handle the demands of modern rock and metal, offering the versatility, tone, and durability needed to push your playing to the next level.
