Pheo Junior Custom
DESCRIPTION:
"The Junior Custom is made from an old mahogany body and neck that I had originally thought was a Gibson employee project guitar. Many details of the body now convince me that this probably isn't the case, but the wood, neck, and deep Jr style tenon are all great. I added a partial maple top from actual fifties Gibson steel guitar wood. The bridge pickup is a Lollar P90. The neck pickup is a Pheo humbucker. The neck is a fairly hefty C profile, 24 3/4" scale, 10" radius. The Junior Custom weighs 7lbs 5oz and has an oil finish." - Phil Sylvester
About Pheo Guitars If you're new to Pheo Guitars, read on. These fractured, yet crafted, random yet profoundly organized instruments are the creations of Phil Sylvester of Pheo Guitars. They are the very epitome of functional art – they play, beautifully, even startlingly well. They are consummate instruments that press hard at the boundaries of what we normally think an instrument “should” be. From Pheo you will find remarkable guitars and amplifiers made from found objects and crafted elements – old instrument parts, hairdryers, grills, vacuum cleaners, etc. all deconstructed and reassembled into a whole that only vaguely resembles, and certainly transcends it’s origins.
