Sonar - Desert Sand

$4,580.00

This Sonar captures the feel and character of a great vintage instrument. Its tastefully relic’d gloss nitrocellulose lacquer displays tight, natural checking, while the deeply contoured, lightweight alder body feels sleek and balanced. The stripped-and-oiled quartersawn maple neck with soft V profile offers a smooth, broken-in feel, complemented by a beautifully dark Indian rosewood fretboard with heavily rolled edges—resulting in an effortlessly comfortable playing experience.

The MOD control plate features three slider switches: the first two split the each humbucker into single-coil mode, while the third “Blower” switch bypasses the neck pickup and the volume and tone controls. This switch can be used as a passive boost—when your volume is rolled down while you are in the neck or middle position, simply engage the Blower to immediately switch to the bridge pickup at full volume!

About the Sonar Model
The Sonar model features a 25.5” scale length, narrower 1.65” nut and 9.5” fretboard radius for a classic “California” feel. Deep vintage-style body contours make the Sonar super comfortable and familiar feeling.

About the “V.O.” Humbuckers
Designed in collaboration with Tim McNelly and wound at the McNelly workshop right here in Canada! These medium-output P.A.F voiced Humbuckers have a balance of sizzle, clarity, and mid-range along with excellent touch sensitivity and attack. Everything you could want from a ‘50s style humbucker.
