Full-Hollow "Solar" Dual Pickup

The Westville "Solar" is a very special and unique instrument made out completely of solid carved woods.

The guitar is a fully hollow archtop that features a solid carved "Stika Spruce" top and a solid carved "Hard Maple" back.

Its unique design and construction also features a solid carved (routed) "Hard Maple" side rim. This innovative and sophisticated design of the solid carved sides (side rim routed from 2" thick "Hard Maple" plate) is complemented and enhanced by the structurally supportive and rigid "end block" on which the tailpiece of the guitar is mounted. The gorgeous Westville figured maple and brass hybrid tailpiece is directly attached to the end block of the guitar with a hard maple spacer providing the perfect balance between tension and resonance of the instrument.

The Solar has an extremely responsive and dynamically sensitive sound, with deep, rich, and beautifully voiced overtone presence as well as the playability of a "dream" guitar!

We at Westville hope that our "Solar" model will inspire many players to uncover the deepest landscapes of their musical universe and give their music a fresh new voice and character.
