This is a Honduran mahogany top Casta. It is light in weight and stays in
perfect tune due to the slightly angled headstock
and self-lubricating graphtech nut and locking
tuners. It has three custom balanced humbuckers (dual-rail
to capture crisp mid-tone) for an even spread (ohm
12-10-8.5).
Semi-gloss natural (no stain). The glassy finish
emphasizes the natural Honduran mahogany book-matched top
on a highly resonant
virola body. All
my guitars are hand signed at the headstock and hand-numbered/dated (Casta-07-4)
as to the month and year I began construction.
I completed this guitar in January, 2008.
It includes a hard-shell case. Type of strap buttons are optional. I
don't apply those until the customer chooses which type. I always use nylon
ship ties on mine. Any strap will fit and not slip off. Check out the details to the right.

 Small flaw below vol. knob in the contour does not affect sound. |
