After World War I, and before aviation regulations,
many former military pilots bought surplus planes from the
government, and toured the countryside performing daring
aerial stunts. They were called "barnstormers," and these
guitars are a tribute to them, as well as the planes they flew,
and the barns they stormed.
The Barnstormer series features bodies built from sections of
2x4 or 2x6 rafters, which can be hollowed out to reduce
weight, and are available in beech, oak, maple, poplar, tupelo,
and elm. Original saw marks are left showing, and lightly
sanded to accentuate them. All barnstormers can also be
custom ordered with plain, slab style or topped bodies.
The necks are either one piece or laminated, and attached to
the body with a full width mortise and tenon joint.
SC models are 25" scale, with 22 frets,
2 P90 or humbucking pickups.
DC, AC, and Bass available by custom order
