Cyclotron Features
Features
The Cyclotron construction method isolates and exploits the various parts of an electric guitar body.
The maple core supports the neck, pickups,bridge and control cavity, while the front and back plates can be shaped to maximum ergonomic and visual effect, neither plate needs to match the other, after all they contact different parts of the body - so why should they?
- Stainless Steel Bolts
Very strong, and will not tarnish,(Titanium bolts available on request) keeps every thing firmly in place - Neck Socket
Cut through top plate and into wooden core to ensure that the neck has direct contact with the core, for a very strong and responsive instrument. - Pickups
Mounted directly to the top face of the guitar to ensure optimum placement beneath the strings, and partial isolation from main body core. - Bridge Studs
All Bridges are secured to the wooden core, Bridge Studs ensure a firmly anchored set of fulcrum points for vibrato bridges - Sustainable Wooden Core
I generally use Maple for its strength and noted clear tones. I have experimented with a Cherry centre block for the Panola Bass, this contributes to the overall warmth of the sound. - Control Cavity
Accessed from back of guitar - no scratch plate to remove, cavity is designed to accommodate future control modifications and active systems. - Jack Socket
Switchcraft Solid Plated Jack socket, a far superior socket to the standard folded steel spring clip design usually found on most of today's electric guitars, will give problem free long service. The socket is secured through an inch of solid timber.
