Bunting Guitars

To get the classic T twang we opted for a vintage correct thin steel bridge plate, compensated brass saddles and a hand wound pickup with a healthy midrange bite and balanced highs and lows.

For the Neck pickup we experimented with different pickups and finally settled on the P90 with AlNiCo Rods. This pickup is quite similar to a JM in design and sound and is a perfect match for the bridge pickup. Other options for the neck pickup are Wide Range style HB, Firebird and classic T.

Jackal is a double cut style guitar with a long tenon set neck and extra deep cutaways that offer excellent access to the entire neck. We equipped the Jackal with a 2 – point tremolo bridge which spiced it up with sweet, bell-like tones and versatility.

We chose Spanish Cedar as the Jackal’s body wood. Spanish Cedar is a relative of Honduran Mahogany and they share a similarity in character as tonewoods. It’s got the right weight and tone for that classic rock sound.

One thing that sets the Jackal S apart from the rest of the pack is the use of a long tenon set neck. This kind of neck joint makes a very noticeable increase in sustain and warmth over the usual Bolt-On design – your notes sound fuller and last longer. One more thing that the set-neck joint allowed us to do is to design the body with extra deep cutaways – offering excellent access to the entire neck!

The result of this design is a comfortable and versatile instrument that is resonant and delivers more sustain than the classic design. Sound wise the Jackal S has the sweet 60’s bell – like tone with a big rich bass, rounded highs and focused midrange throughout all 5 positions.

Spiro was designed with the 50’s Junior tones in mind. What we feel is missing in modern takes on this design is a lightweight Honduran Mahogany body – it’s just not available today as it was back then. We use Spanish Cedar as our body wood. Spanish Cedar is a relative of Honduran Mahogany and they share a similarity in character as tonewoods. It’s got the right weight and tone as was used in the ’50s.

Spiro has a bolt-on neck and wraparound bridge. These features give you more attack, punch and note separation which complements the Spanish Cedar body and P-90 combo.

The Willow is a short scale, single cutaway, semi-hollow electric guitar with some unique features that separate it from its ancestors.

The body’s structure is designed to have great acoustic properties while still retaining the boldness and functionality of an electric. We plane down the solid top and back to 3mm, thus allowing them to vibrate much more than traditional laminated tops. The result is a guitar with an acoustic flavor and a crisp hollow sound, bigger than its body size. Play it unplugged and you immediately feel and hear the difference – it simply rings and sings!

With Alice we wanted a guitar that delivers fierce Rock’n’roll tones – without any bells and whistles. Alice is based on a T style guitar in tonewoods and pickups but comes in a short scale package. The use of a 24.5″ scale length emphasizes the mid frequencies and tames some of the shrill highs often associated with this style of guitars. You still get the twang and bite but it’s much warmer and fuller than you’re used to. The short-scale also gives you looser strings, that means easier playing and you can use heavier gauge strings to get a bigger sound while still retaining great playability.

With Alice EP we wanted a guitar that delivers fierce Rock’n’roll tones – at our most affordable price range. Alice EP is based on a Jr. style guitar in tonewoods and pickup but comes in a shorter scale length of 24.5″. The short-scale gives you looser strings, that means easier playing and you can use heavier gauge strings to get a bigger sound while still retaining great playability

The Alice EP is a bolt-on neck guitar with a single P-90 pickup. A ‘T’ style half-bridge, brass saddles and strings through body design are used for a sweet midrange bite and a hint of twang.
