The Mesquite Deux Fixed Bridge Electric Guitar

Our current vision of the 2 pickup fixed bridge electric guitar

The Mesquite Deux...elegance in simplicity

A hand crafted fixed bridge solid body guitar with great character and warmth

   Denis and I admire Leo’s practical “function governs structure” approach to making great electric guitars. That was part of the inspiration for Mesquite Deux

This beauty has a bookmatched Mesquite top on a solid basswood body. This combination is light yet resonant. It also delivers a well defined attack The 4 bolt neck was hand crafted from solid hard maple and a rosewood fingerboard. The 10″ radius neck has stainless steel frets and a bone nut. It has a modern two way truss rod, a Wilkinson WTB bridge with brass saddles, and Wilkinson machine heads. The control cover neck pickup cover have been treated to provide a “vintage” look.
