Fellacaster: Chambered Body
Dave’s Take: This is a short scale, small body guitar reminiscent of some popular made-in-Japan models. The 24” scale length makes for a lower string tension, making bends easier. The chambered walnut body is light and resonant. The client wanted multiple pickguards for this build so they can change the look whenever they want.
