Wingspan Down Under

This Wingspan™ 6-string guitar is inspired by the textures and colors of the Great Barrier Reef and the lovely Australian sapphires mounted in the Element™ aircraft aluminum neck. Bare Knuckle signature custom pickups from Nolly Getgood and Misha Mansoor combined with 10-way switching. Carbon fiber pickguard. Patented Intonation Cantilever™ headless tuning bridges precision machined from stainless steel, bearing bronze.

“She is here and she is beautiful! I can’t compliment you enough mate… Not only for this beautiful guitar but also for just being an absolute pleasure to deal with and a top bloke in general. I’ve really enjoyed the journey and hope we can do it all again one day.

The only bad thing about this guitar is it really makes my Goshawk look very plain in comparison haha not an easy feat but it does just that with apparent ease!

Thanks again Rick, I really hope you can get down here one day so I can repay some of your kindness!” (Mic)

“Hey Rick, hope you’re doing well. I’m just checking in to say that Wingspan is doing great. It never seems to go out of tune and I have yet to break a string. And since I usually play until I break a string before I change them I still have the original strings on it. Hahaha…

At first, the thin neck threw me a bit, but now it doesn’t seem to bother me at all. Same with the fanned frets. As the Zero fret is in the center of the neck, the fanned frets don’t bother me at all.

The neck is amazing and, thank God, it has never budged even in this high humidity environment that I live in. Most of my guitars go through some kind of metamorphosis every time the humidity goes up and down.

The body cuts are deep and perfect – super comfortable to play.

Actually, I usually play unplugged late at night. The acoustic tone is really unique and I like it. But I have recorded it and it sounds great.

Really happy with Wingspan. Keep up the great work. I wouldn’t mind picking up another one of your guitars someday.” (Mark)
