Pheo Bamboo

The Pheo Bamboo is a hollow body electric resonator guitar. The neck is actually built from a piece of bamboo. It is just a tad over 2 inches wide at the nut and quite deep on occasion. This neck is for players comfortable with baseball bats, plenty of room for finger picking. The fretboard is maple, 25 inch scale, 12 inch radius. The solid part of the body is an odd, very resonant piece of oak, while the hollow part of the body is sapele and honduras mahogany. The resonator is a McCann's Irish oatmeal can (when only the best will do). Pickup is a Pheo custom alnico single coil. The neck structure is hinged, allowing neck angle adjustment for very low, albeit wide, action. The body is 2 1/2 inches deep, 13 inches wide at the lower bout. The headstock is a proprietary design that doubles as a weapon. Only the brave!

Pheo Horseshoe

Built around a vintage Rickenbacker horseshoe pickup from a ten string lap steel, 8.8 K ohms. It growls. The pickup is mounted so that it can be slid from bridge position to neck position and everywhere in between. It can be slid by hand while playing and has height adjusting mechanisms that assure that the strings go through the pickup at the optimal height in all positions.
