The Wren- Pink Stain

My latest Wren is a bold evolution of SL Guitars celebrated Wren series. Visually striking this instrument is built for players who look for performance and personality. I have combined Brazillian Mahogony, with Ripple Ashwood and high end hardware to deliver a boutique playing experience.

The stunning Ripple Ash top, finished with a vivid pink stain enhances the wood’s natural figuring.

This Wren features Schaller hardware for tuning precision and long term reliability, paired with a phase switch for added tonal flexibility. I've used Old Bones pickups, known for their articulate response and dynamic range. This a versatile guitar that delivers across all genres.

The Wren- Natural Oil

This Wren is a meticulously crafted guitar that showcases the authentic beauty of spalted beech—a wood naturally altered by fungal activity to create unique and intricate patterns. The main body is constructed from sapele, a relatively dense and resonant hardwood known for its rich tonal quality and durability.

The Wren’s fingerboard is constructed from ebony with maple binding and 22 stainless steel frets. This combination  not only enhances the guitar’s appearance but also ensures long-lasting durability and ease of play.

 

Equipped with popular IronGear pickups, The Wren delivers a versatile tonal range, providing clarity and warmth across multiple genres, from blues and rock to jazz.

To ensure exceptional tuning stability and quick string changes, The Wren features Gotoh locking tuners, keeping your guitar in tune even through intense playing. Whether you’re performing live or recording in the studio,  

With its distinctive design and attention to detail the Wren is a guitar that delivers both visual impact and remarkable sound.
