Description: For Sale a used prototype hand built Electric Solid Body Guitar by “Vansal” Guitars. As I have ceased building instruments, this earlier prototype is being liquidated from my collection and comes with the following specifications: It should be noted that several newer additions have been made to this guitar over the years such as a roasted Maple neck, pickups and hardware etc. This Guitar is patterned after the venerable Stratocaster and is made from Canadian Northern Poplar which is a lighter wood than Ash but has excellent tonal qualities. Body is finished in a Gloss 3-Tone Sunburst Lacquer. The Neck is of straight grained roasted Canadian Maple and finished in a low sheen Satin. Pickups are “Wilkinson Alnico 5, MVSM Single Coil, MVCB Humbucker” in a White Pearl Pickguard with HSS configuration and include a 5-Way Slide Switch, Extra 2-way mini toggle switch for a total of 7 tone variations. Tuning Keys are of medium quality and in a gold finish. Tremolo Bridge is “Wilkinson WOVO8″ Professional Model and is set to operate one way only. Guitar Nut is Bone. Gold finish neck plate. The Guitar is equipped with “DAddario Nickel Wound EXL” 10/46 gauge strings. Total weight of guitar 7.2 lbs. Note: Since photos of the Instrument were not professionally taken, lighting shadows and reflections may indicate finish issues which do not exist. Very Important Note : Please be aware this guitar being a prototype and used for experimental purposes with various pickups, tuners, tremolos, body and neck configurations and Installations etc. Will exhibit flaws and idiosyncrasies inherent in a used hand built instrument as opposed to a Factory CNC produced model, this Instrument however has excellent playability. It should be noted: After building several prototypes I changed the body shape to further distinguish my own style and as not to conflict with a known famous brand. This body new shape can be seen in the logo on my dashboard.
