Xelo

XELO

Shown are the features of the standard version. Some aspects can be customised.
The wood I chose for the standard version is sapele -- because of the local availability and its properties. Nevertheless there are other options. Ask me.
All the guitars are finished with a mixture of oil and wax.
The magnet orientation for the pickups is south up (neck) and north up (bridge), while the direction of the coil wire is opposite between the two. That way they combine well (in phase) and work like a humbucker when put in series.
