Marquet Guitar Introduces The Renaissance Classic Inlay Electric Guitar

December 04, 2008

Using state of the art inlay techniques, the Nashville-based company, Marquet Guitars, slashes the cost of intricately inlaid guitars, making them more accessible and affordable for artists and collectors. Applying 22 years of engineering and design work, our luthiers utilize computer technology from concept to completion. We combine classic designs with contemporary processes, allowing the consumer tremendous savings.

The body and neck are carved out of Equatorian mahogany into a traditional design. Scale length is 25" with 24 frets and a 12" radius. This gives this vintage style guitar modern playability. Fret wire is 18% high alloy nickel-silver for superior tone and fret life. The fretboard is made of fine Indian rosewood. Pickups are Lindy Fralin Tone Masters with gold covers. Tuners are high quality Sperzel with bright gold finish. The body and neck have inlays of awabi, agoya, abalone and paua shell veneer using a high precision laser pocketing and cutting process. The inlaid guitar is then fully sealed, finished to prefection with a low mass hard polyurethane coating to preserve the tonal qualities. The neck is equiped with the Earvana compensated nut for the highest level of intonation available. Each guitar is crafted to specific customer order.

Marquet Guitars Renaissance model is now available for an MSRP of $2,995.00
