Antilles
SPECIFICATIONS & BODY CONSTRUCTION
At its heart, Antilles is a vintage inspired flat-top electric guitar. Designed with echoes of ‘catalogue’ guitars of the 50s and 60s with its humble, single-cutaway shape and semi-hollow body design.
A unique semi-hollow construction provides a rich tone full of harmonic content with a single f-hole to bring the acoustic character of the guitar to life.
What makes Antilles so special is its ‘open plan’ design that is fully customisable in every aspect – nothing is ‘standard’. Pickups, scale length, pickguard, hardware, inlays, timbers are all open to what your imagination can dream up!
FROM $4,999 AUD
HEADSTOCK
All Conway guitars – Antilles included – feature a 10-degree angled headstock. This is the optimal angle to provide just enough downforce to avoid the use of string trees, but not too much to negatively increase tuning stability or string tension.
The highest quality bone nuts are chosen for optimal tone.
The addition of 2mm hardwood headplate (ebony as standard ) further increases headstock stability.
NECK JOINT
Extra long neck tenon and an extra deep heel for added mass in the area it matters most.
This extra-large neck joint allows for an extremely solid neck-body fit and solid connection which aids in increased sustain.
APPOINTMENTS
Mother of Pearl inlays, premium hardware such as Gotoh and Schaller bridge and tuners, highest quality Jescar Nickel Silver or Stainless Steel fretwire.
COMFORT
Hand rolled fretboard edge and fret ends for the ultimate worn-in feel straight out of the box.
FINISH
Minimal finish, maximum tone. Our standard finish is a thin-skin, low-sheen pre-Catalyzed lacquer that provides their signature look and feel.
Other finishes are available upon request, all of which are painstakingly applied to be as thin as possible while still protecting the timber beneath.
PREMIUM TONEWOODS
All timbers are hand selected for every Antilles.
Bodies are chosen for weight, resonance and tone based on your desired tonal preferences.
All necks are quartersawn as standard with strength and stability of the highest priority.
Fretboards are chosen for hardness and resonance, and are also quartersawn as standard.
