Goldorak is a hollow-body electric guitar, featuring african padauk, honduran mahogany, and camphor burl.
Its layered construction was suggested by my client Kirk Labelle. He presented me a photoshop mock-up of what he envisioned as possible for his guitar. I have to admit that it took me a little while to figure everything out for this one, and that the tonal outcome came out way better than anything expected by both of us.
Kirk requested a central electronic compartment, which I could enclose in a shielded box, accessible via the padauk wedged-piece on the back.
This type of construction gave me insights for later builds like Kouai.
Quartered, honduras mahogany back.
The -V- shape opening accepts its
padauk counter-part in a locking
action.
Just below the back plate is the cedar electronic shielded box (seen above).
This instrument features both magnetic and piezo pickups, wired to an onboard LR Baggs preamp.
