The Elmer Is the Guitar I always thought should be made and No-one ever did.  About 2 years ago I decided that I would make it.The design is finally complete and here is the first one!! I can't be happier with the results! 

The Elmer body is constructed of a vintage Poplar back with a Douglas fir top while the neck is Maple with a Wenge fingerboard. This combination of woods very much complement each other. 

​

With a set of thomastik Swing /Jazz flats, The Elmer sounds amazing shifting from jazz to blues and back.  

The pickup selector is a blend control rather then a switch.

that allows for varying degrees of  blending between neck and bridge pickup.  Also a tone cut push / pull switch is utilized for jumping from solo to rhythm comping. Just set the tone where you like it and pull up on tone knob to shift to full lead mode. 

 

Pickups are custom wound AlNiCo surface mount singles. The bridge is a blade and neck pickup is pole piece version.  

​

Available with a custom made hard-shell case or a Mono guitar sleeve gig bag.
