McNaught Guitars - Phoenix Rising
Posted by Jon in • Cool Guitars
It amazes me just how many custom guitar builders there are out there, I always think I’m going to run out of guitar makers to feature and then I stumble across a company like McNaught Guitars. There isn’t much information about David Thomas McNaught on the company website so I’m not sure how long he has been building guitars but judging by the size of the model range I would say quite a few years. McNaught seems to be a fan of quilted and flame maple tops on his guitars, there only seems to be a couple that don’t use maple! The guitar pictured left is called the Phoenix Rising and features a mahogany body and neck with a Flame Maple bound Indian Rosewood fingerboard. The neck is a Set Thru-Neck™ (for more info on the McNaught Set Thru-Neck click here) with a double adjusting truss rod. This guitar also feaures a carved Mahogany top, a Tone Pros Tune-O-matic bridge and dual humbuckers. As with all McNaught guitars there are a whole load of upgrade options available such as custom inlays, body binding and tone chambers. Check out some of McNaughts intricate inlay work here, I like the piled skulls!
