Frank is a singer/guitar player extraordinaire unafraid to take the Nocturne Rooster, to meet the demands of any gig!
I've designed a guitar that looks and feels familiar w a 25" scale, and 9.5" radius fretboard.. yet is a breed of its own. As I've teamed up w Barry of Grez guitars, an Acoustic Engineer who's helped me get the sonic footprint of a near full sized hollowbody's acoustic transparency while exhibiting the twang and snarl of a vintage jet w the top end compression and jangle of ricky yet still carrying the honky tonk snap and woody bonk of a tele, in a streamline design that comfortable and fast yet still warm in the hand like the handshake of a good friend. This all american build also boast a bigsby B3 vibrato and tonepros fixed tuneOmatic bridge for positive pitch return across a slippery tusq string nut w sperzel locking tuners.
You have to decide which Tvjones pickups (T-armonds, T-90s as seen in vid below, or Roostertrons) are best for your playing preferences, but the Macasar Ebony fretboard w S.S. frets, honduran mahogany body and neck w a very very California centric guitar top made from Ancient Reclaimed Sinker Redwood, pulled from the rivers and lakes of California. Padded gig bag included. check shipping for your region in the contiguous U.S.A.
