This is a purpleheart 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 purpleheart book-matched top on a highly resonant
virola body. All
my guitars are hand signed at the headstock and hand-numbered/dated (Casta-07-2)
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.
