Andy's Guitars
This page features some of the guitars built by Andy Staves of Mahogany Newt. Andy's love of the guitar extends beyond playing to actually creating and building instruments. An experienced luthier, Andy plays his own electric guitars which each contribute their own individual character to the songs and the visual impact of the Band's live performances.
A modified PRS body shape with chambered body construction and F holes.
Mahogany body and neck and rosewood fingerboard. Triple bound body, fingerboard and headstock (tortoise shell/white/black).
Seymour Duncan Jeff Beck (bridge) and '59 (neck) humbucking pickups (my favourite combination) plus Graph Tech Ghost piezo bridge saddle pickups for acoustic guitar sounds.
This is my most recent creation - a guitar based on a Fender '72 Telecaster Thinline featuring a semi chambered body with a single F hole.
Constructed with a mahogany body and figured maple top, oiled maple neck and fingerboard. A striking pearloid scratchplate and satin chrome hardware contrast nicely with the vintage amber finish.
Powered by Stu Mac Golden Age pickups.
A strat style guitar with a stunning quilted maple top finished in sea burst.
Mahogany body and figured maple top, figured sycamore neck with rosewood fingerboard.
