Asher Electro Sonic
No. 1090
 
Bill Asher is another one of the few incredible master luthiers that supply household name guitarists with beautifully designed and crafted instruments. Frequenters of Coda Music may be familiar with the Asher guitars, but if you want Bill to build the one you have in your imagination, you'll have to join a long queue. These unique commissioned instruments very rarely appear on the market outside USA, but we are honoured to be able to offer #1090 for sale.
 
The Electro Sonic resembles the lap-steels that Bill Asher is best known for. This individual black / TV yellow colour scheme combined with the unusual pick-up covers provide a timeless look - the Creamery pick-ups sound superb, as they always do. This is a 'neck-thru'' construction using quartersawn Okoumé (also known as Gaboon, a variety of mahogany) and has a nice bright tone and combined with the single coil Sweet 14s give outstanding clean sounds. The fretboard is ebony with a 12 inch radius and Dunlop 6155 frets. The bridge is an TonePros AVR2 - well known for its high engineered quality and low tolerances. Kluson Deluxe tuners complete the very high specification of this guitar.
 
This special Asher can be viewed at Ketteringham Hall by appointment, or can be reserved with a deposit of £500 if this is the guitar you know you have been holding out for.
