PROTOTYPING THE PARALLAX
I designed the Parallax as a successor to the discontinued Space model. Just as Space was a conventional version of the headless Neptune, Parallax has a lot in common with my new Baryon model. This prototype has my standard 25-26” multiscale, compound radius fretboard, Limba body with a Buckeye top, Ovangkol neck and Macassar fretboard. I use my own hardware across all guitar models, which I will talk about in a different post. Tuners are Graphtech Ratio which is a departure from my usual Hipshots, but I found that Graphtech is of superior quality, not to mention, the individual gear ratio for each string is a very nice feature. I prefer working with local pickup winders, so for now Pegcity is a default option. | ![]() |
THIS WEEK
I’ve already made a tester out of scraps and now I’m working on the actual neck.
In fact, I’m making two necks at the same time. The one on the right is a custom order.
This one will have some slate details
