Set thru construction, a natural evolution:
Artavox has solved this problem:
Introducing the “Set Thru” neck!
By using a thick top, the two ‘wings’ on either side of the neck have been turned into a body that can be popped on and off the neck during construction. Being able to construct the body and neck separately makes carving easier, setting neck angle easier, allows traditional top binding and perfling, and, even a fully hollow body! Not to mention serious upper fret access…
Woods
Sourced from the west coast of Canada, these thick cut, solid exotic timber tops are extensively hand carved to bring out a truly three dimensional look.
Magnetic cover plates.
Cavity covers are solid wood and held in place by rare earth magnets. No screws to lose, no tools required! Grain matching is also available
