J25 SEMI-HOLLOW Pelham Blue

We are in the process of finishing this J25 and have decided on the following specification but can change a few things at this stage like ageing, wraparound bridge type, pickguard.

Slightly smaller than our J35, the Case J25 has a 14" wide body width and is extremely well balanced on the strap. The guitar employs a traditional semi-hollow laminated maple construction with a light obeche centre block. The semi-hollow body creates a resonant, responsive tone, while the centre block maximises sustain and keeps feedback to a minimum. The neck is made from quarter sawn mahogany and has a beautiful dark rosewood fingerboard. 

All hardware is high quality and includes an ABM compensated wraparound stopbar. Gotoh vintage tuners guarantee fine tuning and smooth operation. High quality CTS pots and Switchcraft components are used, together with a 50’s wiring scheme to minimise treble loss when rolling back the volume. 

Hand wound Bare Knuckle ‘Nantucket’ P90s are chosen for their outstanding clarity and extended dynamic range. Even at low levels of gain, smooth harmonic feedback, full of overtones is possible, while clean sounds have depth and unmistakable vintage character.
