PANTHER DROPTOP - KOA HSS

A SUPER VERSATILE GUITAR BASED ON OUR PANTHER MODEL
ALDER BODY TEAMED WITH A SLICE OF KOA FOR THE DROP TOP
 

The Panther was our first model and this super fancy version of it captures the best of modern features including the awesome Hipshot Contour tremolo  teamed with Graphtech RATIO locking tuners and an Earvana nut 
The roasted maple neck is held firmly with threaded inserts and machine screws  for a tight fit and great sustain and tone transferance.
Once gain Bare Knuckle have supplied the Pickup firepower with a Holydiver giving quite a lot of firepowerclocking in at 16k  of AWG43 wire and an alnico 5 magnet (think Duncan JB for similar output) . Single coils are the classic Irish tour plain enamel AWG42 wire wound with alnico 5 magnets For classic cleans and bluesy soloing
