Tweakster FS

Royal Blue

We built this Tweakster at Frank’s request. We slimmed down the classic T-design a little and made some of the curves a bit more elegant and modern (in our opinion). Frank also chose a spectacular maple top from our wood stock, which we glued as a drop top (= curved downwards in the armrest area) with a flamed(!) alder body. The back also got an ergonomic belly cut, and the neck joint was made with our tried-and-tested 4-point screw connection with M6 stainless steel screws. This creates a rock-solid connection and also allows the neck-body transition to be comfortably rounded off.
The neck and fretboard are made of flamed roasted Swiss maple. The fretboard is adorned with a beautiful mother-of-pearl inlay chosen by Frank, and 22 cleanly polished stainless steel frets shine within it.
A Tellie Tremolo from SuperVee in the USA was used for the hardware. A system that is extremely well thought out, both functionally and visually. In combination with the Gotoh locking tuners and the precisely filed bone nut, it is also perfectly stable in tune.
Frank chose a rich royal blue for the color of the top, which harmonizes perfectly with the gold hardware and highlights the intense grain of the top. It’s always amazing what you can do with a design classic. A real eye-catcher this beatuy, isn’t it?
