CUSTOM SHOP SPECIFICATIONS

Kalispell Custom Guitars

HAND-CRAFTEDPNW BENCH

Luthier Blueprint & Specs

Handcrafted in Kalispell, Montana, using premium woods sourced locally in the Pacific Northwest. Engineered to merge vintage offset feel with absolute electrical shielding integrity.

NECK PROFILE: MEDIUM "C"

Meticulously hand-shaped neck with rolled fretboard edges, 9.5" radius, medium-jumbo frets, and vintage amber nitrocellulose lacquer finish for a worn-in, classic feel.

TONE WOODS: PNW ALDER & fig MAPLE

Select resonant Alder bodies matched with quartersawn Northwest Maple necks, finished in ultra-thin nitro to allow the wood to breathe and vibrate naturally.

WIRING: SOLID COPPER SHIELDING

Entire control and pickup cavities are completely lined with heavy copper shielding foil, grounded to eliminate external electromagnetic hum and preserve high frequencies.

Hardware Matrix

BODY STYLE	Offset contour, custom balance weight distribution
FRET WIRE	Jescar Medium Jumbo (6105 equivalent) nickel-silver
PICKUPS	Hand-wound custom Alnico V vintage-voiced single coils
POTENTIOMETERS	CTS Premium 250k/500k audio taper pots (matched ±8%)
JACK / SWITCH	Switchcraft heavy-duty output jack & 3-way toggle
SHIELDING	Full copper cavity wrap + silver conductive shielding paint

◈ TRANSIENT RESONANCE NOTE ◈

"By coupling custom hand-rolled C-necks with premium quartersawn maple and high-conductivity copper shielding, the transient attack of the string is completely preserved, preventing the loss of high-end harmonic space through cable load."
