The B3 comes in five flavors: Earth (from $4200) - Flat top model, Fire (from $5200) - Carved top solid body model, Wood (from $6100) - Chambered to Hollow body models, Water - Carved top/carved back hollow models, Metal - Neck thru models.
The B3 XS model is a true hybrid encompassing the very best features, woods, and electronics from two of the giants that have come to define the electric guitar, at least until now. Gene starts with an "S" type body made of the finest grade Korina and then adds to that a Korina set neck-thru topped with an aged Brazilian fretboard melting into the body via a heel carve that is smooth as can be giving the player access to all the upper register real estate. The electronics, again, with 2 Humbuckers and a middle position single coil, give the player the best of two worlds. The hardware package includes a vintage style Wilkinson tremolo as well as locking Sperzel tuners.
The XT is part of Gene's Project X "neck through" series. The "XT" is Gene's take on a classic Fullerton design. Like the XS and XS 3 X 3, the XT is built to allow you to play your best and fastest if desired. The neck is a players dream come true with super easy action and possibly the most welcoming easy upper access neck carve in the business. Take Gene's incredible skills, add to that the finest alder, maple and rosewood available, top it off with DiMarzios Area T pickups and you have one monstrous machine whose tone, playability and looks are certain to win your hands and heart as well as the ears and eyes of all others within range.

The Model 228 is a modern take on a great design. Chihoe Hahn's goal with the 228 is to build a guitar that is as inspired in its execution as it is in that original, brilliant, inspired design..
"The S1 I tried at this company’s poshly decorated booth played beautifully and sounded incredibly clear and ringing. Every aspect of this guitar has been rendered with a great deal of care and precision to create a one-of-a-kind instrument that straddles the line between music-making tool and piece of fine sculpture." - Art Thompson

What you see may look different from the other Huber guitars but it is a real Huber. This time Huber put all their experience into an every-day-every-night guitar for the working musician. It is a classic already, but one that brings Nik Huber quality and craftsmanship into the local bar as well as onto the mega-stage of a crowded arena.
The Superior, while similar in style to the Glide models, features more of a double cut -away. It features a different headstock shape as well. The standard is built with the same solid construction set neck as the others. Standard model features TV JONES Electroflux bridge pickup, lipstick neck pickup and Hipshot tremolo (Hardtail available at no additional cost).
Introducing the TORNADO. It started out as a two pickup JR Glide for guitarist David Torn and through much reworking morphed into a superbly versatile and comfortable tone machine. The body outline is the familiar and classic Glide shape. We add arm contouring and a tummy cut so that is melds into your body. The neck is hand carved to an incredibly comfy slim C shape. It measures approximately .8" at the 1st fret and tapers gradually to about .9 at the 12th.
The Carolina : Based loosely upon the Taurus chassis, the all- new Carolina carries a fabulous feature set intended to appeal to true devotees of a late 1950’s classic design.

This guitar is hand carved, arched on the top and curved on the back. It's 33 inches long and was conceived in order to travel in plane cockpits to avoid damage during flight transports. The neck is made of very old mahogany and is reinforced in its center by a piece of rosewood...
Myka offers both electric and acoustic instrument designs. The styles in this gallery can be used as a starting point for a new instrument or modified to fit your particular needs or something entirely new can be designed..
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.
"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
"I'm a big fan of vintage guitars. There's just something about them that you don't often feel in new instruments. The vintage magic grows from so many tiny little details - a complex mixture unreachable by modern mass production. That's what the VSOP Series is all about - we offer the player a strat style electric, built with the attitude and dedication that a professional quality musical instrument deserves to be built with." - Juha Ruokangas

The Verrilli Amp Guitar has a built-in battery amplifier that has been modified and routed into the back of the guitar with the speaker below the bridge in the front. The guitar still sounds good plugged directly into an amp with the mini battery amp off..
The Verrilli Black/Humbucker Aged Guitar is a classic black nitro aged guitar which has a mahogany neck with ebony board and a black headstock face. What's also different here is a nicely aged or reliced body with humbucker pickups (or the combination of spliting the coils and mingling them with single coils. Keep in mind the very popular fender relic market still restricts itself to imitating vintage looks, ie: never using humbuckers on a guitar they are relicing..
The Verrilli T style guitars are extremely resonant when you combine the fat neck with the single piece light weight body and thin nitro finish. The wooden pickguards have a subtle effect on the tone (much more noticeable acoustically). What you'll hear is a warmer more organic tone, especially depending on how and where you pick. Some other important features which are on most Verrilli guitars are the rolled neck edges and softened fret ends..
