Partridge<br />
Cutaway<br />
The Satellite is an offset, single cutaway, all mahogany guitar with 2 P-90's <strong>and</strong> a<br />
25" scale. The mahogany is warm <strong>and</strong> the custom wound Fralin P-90's are big on<br />
midrange when used clean <strong>and</strong> extremely powerful when overdriven without being<br />
harsh. Simply classic!<br />
The MT takes the Satellite concept one step further with the addition of front <strong>and</strong><br />
back body carves, a figured maple top <strong>and</strong> humbucking pickups. The carves are<br />
graceful <strong>and</strong> make the body more ergonomical. The maple top adds midrange <strong>and</strong><br />
clarity to the warm mahogany <strong>and</strong> the humbuckers exp<strong>and</strong> the tonal spectrum.<br />
The DG is based on the guitar I built for former XTC guitarist Dave Gregory back in<br />
1996. It features a mahogany body <strong>and</strong> neck <strong>and</strong> a 24-3/4" scale. I've made a few<br />
improvements to the original by giving the peghead a 14 degree angle <strong>and</strong><br />
replacing the Gretsch re-issue pickups that I used in Dave's guitar with TV Jones<br />
Filtertrons. Unlike typical humbuckers, the Filtertrons are amazingly clear <strong>and</strong><br />
articulate with a tight bottom end <strong>and</strong> loads of sparkle on top.<br />
The Thinline Satellite is lightweight <strong>and</strong> beautiful. Available with or without the<br />
"pipe" soundhole. Dropping these TV Jones Filtertrons into this semi-hollow alder<br />
<strong>and</strong> maple body produces a rich, full sound with great low, middle <strong>and</strong> high end.<br />
The maple neck contributes to a clear <strong>and</strong> pronounced tone.<br />
The Orbiter is a double cutaway version of the Satellite <strong>and</strong> also comes st<strong>and</strong>ard<br />
with a mahogany body <strong>and</strong> neck <strong>and</strong> 2 P-90's. As with any of my <strong>guitars</strong> it can be<br />
ordered with an unlimited number of <strong>options</strong> to suit your individual needs. Create<br />
your own classic!<br />
The Orbiter MT has a sleek, asymmetrical, double cutaway, mahogany body with a<br />
carved figured maple top, a mahogany neck <strong>and</strong> 2 humbuckers.<br />
The Partridge guitar is the result of my collaboration with legendary<br />
singer/songwriter/guitarist Andy Partridge of XTC. Andy had essentially requested<br />
that I build him a solid body electric guitar wrapped in the timeless lines of a 3/4<br />
scale classical guitar. The first prototype was built in 1996 <strong>and</strong> over the years<br />
we've made a few changes to improve upon <strong>and</strong> streamline the original concept.<br />
The chambered mahogany body has a concealed maple core <strong>and</strong> a bound Sitka<br />
spruce top. Its look is the only subtle thing about it.<br />
The Partridge Cutaway shares all the same features as the Partridge but the<br />
cutaway body style improves access to the upper frets.<br />
$2500<br />
Tonestar<br />
I<br />
$2700<br />
Tonestar<br />
II<br />
$2800<br />
The Tonestar I has a double cutaway, semi-hollow maple body, a figured maple<br />
top, a maple neck <strong>and</strong> 2 mini-humbuckers. The semi-hollow body makes for a<br />
lightweight guitar with a very clear tone <strong>and</strong> a warm low end. The maple gives it an<br />
open ring with good clarity, not harsh but very alive, both clean <strong>and</strong> dirty.<br />
The Tonestar II utilizes the same body style as the Tonestar I but the mahogany<br />
back <strong>and</strong> neck, along with the full-size humbuckers, add another dimension, a<br />
thickness to the tone <strong>and</strong> give it a more pronounced <strong>and</strong> forceful midrange.<br />
Gravitone Right between the 25" scale guitar <strong>and</strong> the 32" scale bass guitar is my 28-1/16"<br />
scale baritone guitar. The st<strong>and</strong>ard sub-sonic 6-string sports a solid, carved alder

$1900 body, bolt-in maple neck <strong>and</strong> 2 custom wound Fralin Tele bridge pickups. If you<br />
prefer the Orbiter or Tonestar body style you can order a baritone version of those<br />
<strong>models</strong> as well <strong>and</strong> their respective base <strong>prices</strong> apply. The Gravitone is strung<br />
with .015 -.080 gauge strings <strong>and</strong> tuned to 'A' or select the gauge of strings <strong>and</strong><br />
tuning of your choice. Tune down for a whole new sound!<br />
Rhythmstar<br />
Bass<br />
$2500<br />
The 32" medium scale Rhythmstar Bass has a double cutaway, semi-hollow alder<br />
body, an alder top, a maple neck <strong>and</strong> 2 mini-humbuckers. The semi-hollow alder<br />
body has similar tonal characteristics to a solid alder body with a strong, clear <strong>and</strong><br />
articulate punch. The independent volumes <strong>and</strong> coil taps allow a wide range of<br />
humbucking <strong>and</strong> single coil tones to come out of this bass, from Motown to Brit<br />
Pop to Rock <strong>and</strong> everything in between.<br />
