Hi folks,

I've got a bit of an itch for a new guitar - in particular, something built around a spectrum v body shape.

Does anyone happen to know of an aftermarket body/neck supplier offering this style? I know Walsh and at least one other are doing full custom builds based on Teisco bodies, but I'm looking to piece something together from parts.

Thanks in advance yall

I had a Hsin-Mi/Kawai in that shape for a very short time and know about Eastwood who made their own hommage.

Other than that: a quick google search led me to THIS: CAD files for a Humbucker equipped variant - for 25 bucks.

If you got someone with a CNC this might me the cheapest and fastest ticket.

I really love the bottom curves of the Spectrum - but the horns are… let‘s say it takes some time getting used to them…
Anyhow: sounds like a fun project! Have fun!

And Schecter made their own… but no funky colours… more metal than 60s.

But for parts… no (other) idea atm.

Joe Parker?

Parker was the other one I was trying to think of - yes, thank you!

This is great - ty!

This seems like a reasonable place to drop a bit of trivia I noticed just a couple days ago:

Thanks again for this link - Luis from Lonely Star made a couple of mods for me, and I have a friend with a CAD-equipped wood shop who can run the job.
