My own take on a classic. When approaching the design of the Hellcat, I wanted to bring some of my favorite modern elements of design into the mix to try and give a little something individual and unique to my offering. I chose to lean the headstock back instead of scooping it. It also comes with my ‘Classic’ reversed headstock as standard.
The waist section of the body was tightened slightly to help with how it sits on your lap and to help accentuate the aesthetic curves of the body. I also chose to establish a chest scoop on the reverse of the body, which i think is something these guitars have always needed. The upper region access was also widened (a little) to not only allow maximum comfort while playing the higher frets, but to also allow the option of 7/8 strings without losing any playability.
6, 7 and 8 string options available as well as multiscale options too. Lefties available at no extra charge. Standard body thickness is 35mm and standard scale length is 25.5″ unless otherwise specified. Multiple build options currently available, as well as an almost endless timber option list. Bass versions also available.
