The body of the Meniketti is crafted with a six layer bound hand-carved maple top, which is fitted to a body made from a solid piece of mahogany. The tone qualities, resonance and sustain of this guitar is impeccable. The 24 5/8" - inch scale length bolt on neck is also made from one solid piece of mahogany with a 22-fret single bound indian rosewood fingerboard with round MOP inlays The pickups are Seymour Duncan Jazz Model SH-2 the neck position, which is a classic moderate output humbucker. At the bridge a Seynour Duncan Custom 5 SH-14. The SH-14 is like a high output '59 Model with a deeper bottom end and expanded output. The combination of these two pick-ups can give warm bluesy tones in addition to hard fat rockin' tones.
This guitar would scream with a multitude of tones fitted with Seymours P-Rails and Triple Shot pickup rings. Something to seriously consider.
Other features include Gotoh Tune-o-matic bridge and aluminum stopbar tailpiece, Schaller M-6 Guitar Machines, multi-ply white and black binding on both the guitar body top plate and headstock , single ply binding on the finger board, gold hardware and a custom 1 11/16" width nut. The neck has a custom thin profile for easy playability. Vintage electronics with military spec sealed volume and tone controls and Vishay/Sprague Orange Drop Capacitors.
