No, you didn't forget to put on your glasses! 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.
"THIN IS IN!" The Thinline is an offshoot of the HJG-1 "Halfling Jazz Guitar" which is the result of over 25 years of Tom Ribbecke's unique understanding of carved top design. True crossover instruments, they combine the sensitivity of steel string guitars, with their flatter soundboard on the bass side, and the articulate sound of true jazz guitars.
"To design and build the ultimate set-neck guitar ever - quite a goal, I'd say. Looking back - almost a decade after the birth of first prototypes - the Duke satisfies me perfectly. The classic tone is there, but with a number of features to improve the ergonomics, strength, weight and sound of this type guitar. And when it comes to curves... the Duke looks just beautiful, doesn't it?" - Juha Ruokangas, 2003
"Ten years ago I didn't really understand what the fuss was about this style guitar. They seemed worn out and boring - not enough technical fun-stuff for a young luthier like me. The more experience I gained the better I realized that the simple ways are in many cases the best ways of all. To design a guitar - keeping things simple is a piece of cake - but improving the already existing at the same time..! The Mojo has definitely been the most challenging model so far for me to give birth to." - Juha Ruokangas
