Jean Pierre Klifa is one of the pre-eminent designers of ladies handbags in the world, and an avid guitar collector and player. His favorite style of playing is what is called the "clawhammer" technique, which is the way Mark Knopfler plays. He wanted me to build him a guitar that would allow him to most effectively use this type of finger-picking style. Since he already owns several Fender Santa Rosas, since he loves the feel of that type of neck, he thought it would make the perfect platform from which to build his ideal guitar. This guitar originally arrived as an early 90's Fender Santa Rosa, a chambered solid body acoustic/electric guitar. JP wanted it similar to the first one I built him, but with 2 single coil pickups like a tele, instead of a single P90 pickup as in the first one I built him. I opted for a pair of Razor stacked humbucking single coils, and hot strat pickup in the neck, and a hot tele stack in the bridge, slanted in the opposite direction for a bit beefier tone. All gold hardware! Real Bigsby B5 vibrato, gold Wilkinson roller bridge with lateral bridge adjustment as well as saddle adjustment for perfect intonation and alignment, gold 3 way toggle switch, Razor stacked single coil pickups-hot tele in the bridge, and hot strat in the neck. Gotoh locking tuners, Tusq nut, gold oversized strap buttons, .010 gauge strings.Enjoy, and I welcome your comments. For more info regarding lutherie services available, please call 305-896-1811. Thanks for watching.
