Becker ABRThe Becker ABR is an entirely handcarved, neck-through instrument. It has a 5-piece ziricote and maple top with ebony accents and a matching headstock overlay. The intricate 7-piece neck and accented sides are made from aged Honduran mahogany with curly maple. The fretboard features a 16ā€ radius with a 24.75ā€ scale length, while the ebony fretboard has mother of pearl fret and side dots with maple accents and ebony binding.

The guitar is fitted with ebony and ziricote knobs, tailpiece, pickup rings and bridge, but can be easily converted to a Tune-OMatic, depending on the player’s preference. The ABR’s earthy tones are amplified by two custom shop Seymour Duncan ā€œBeckerbuckerā€ pickups, resulting in a clean, organic tone. All edges are heavily rounded and sanded to a sea glass feel. It has a lacquer finish and is fitted with a set of chrome Gotoh 510 tuners, an ebony backplate and a black pearl Becker logo.

This legendary vintage rack unit will inspire you to think about effects with a new perspective.

But real-time toggling isn’t always important.

Enter the iconic Eventide H3000 (and its massive creative potential).

The luthier’s stash.

There is more to a guitar than just the details.

A guitar is not simply a collection of wood, wire, and metal—it is an act of faith. Faith that a slab of lumber can be coaxed to sing, and that magnets and copper wire can capture something as expansive as human emotion. While it’s comforting to think that tone can be calculated like a tax return, the truth is far messier. A guitar is a living argument between its components—an uneasy alliance of materials and craftsmanship. When it works, it’s glorious.
