The Alpher Hammerhead is finally here! This listing if for the pre order deposit to have your own made!
The Hammerhead shape was originally designed for our lower cost and more stripped back spec Pheral instruments but we loved it so much we knew we had to go all in and make a full fat Alpher version!
We wanted to create something with a killer look plus a crazy number of tone options (240 to be exact) but still keep it classy and intuitive to operate.
We landed on an amazing Aged Nitro finish over a Sassafras body, Wenge neck and a set of custom Sunbear humbuckers based around 51p style pickups.
We then wired them in a way to make them super versatile. Each coil has its own on / off switch for quick access to a massive range of tones plus we added a Stellartone 10 way tone pot! This gives you a huge range of distinct and useable tones at your fingertips without a battery in sight!
This model comes in the colour, wood + pickguard combination shown in the photos as standard. Other colours and combinations available on request so don’t be afraid to ask.
