"Verne built these guitars using NOS Danelectro/Coral Longhorn archtop bodies. ""They are very light, toneful, and a blast to play,"" he says. The six-string (top) uses the six-string neck from a Danelectro doubleneck with a Kent Armstrong floating humbucker and Fishman Powerjack with two soundboard-mounted piezo contact mics. The seven-string (bottom) uses a late '80s or early '90s Samick neck with a custom Kent Armstrong floating humbucker. Both feature custom ebony talipiece, bridge, and fingerrest made by Paul Iverson"

The Meteora’s upscale second outing has a lot more in common with its offset siblings than its sleek modern looks imply—and that’s a wonderful thing.

Excellent array of tones, from heavy to bluesy, indie, and funky. Great playability.

Pricey. Knobs feel somewhat rough. On-the-fly contour adjustments take some getting used to.

$2,249
