My electric guitars are handmade with the same dedication and perfection as my basses. Only first grade, very well seasoned woods and high quality parts are used throughout. With the guitar player in mind, a great deal of effort is put into tonal quality and playing comfort.

I offer the following "Ellio Martina" models:

The "SC".

This guitar is a mixture of the Stratocaster* and the Les Paul*, combining the best characteristics of these legendary models. The Strat-derived body is constructed from mahogany with a carved flame maple top of 16 millimeter thickness.
The mahogany neck is glued into the body with a comfort contoured joint to increase playing ease. The guitar is available with a tremolo or as a non-tremolo model with a stud tailpiece.
Two humbucker pickups complete this model

The "LC".

This guitar is a custom designed instrument with a body constructed from mahogany with a carved flame maple top of 16 millimeter thickness. The body is made with tone chambers on both sides of the centerpart. This semi-hollow construction combines the warmth and sustain of mahogany with the fatness and attack of semi-acoustic guitars.
The mahogany neck is glued into the body with a comfort contoured joint to increase playing ease. The guitar is available with a tremolo or as a non-tremolo model with a stud tailpiece.
The guitar is equipped with two humbucking pickups

Features:

• body ~ semi-hollow, made of mahogany with carved flame maple top

• neck ~ mahogany, glued into the body. Truss-rod adjustable at the head stock

• scale length ~ 635 mm.

• fingerboard ~ compound radius for enhanced playability. Choice of rosewood, ebony or maple

• frets ~24 - Dunlop 6150 fret wire standard, different sizes available on request. All frets are hand-crowned and perfectly dressed.

Of course you can have any regular or a "custom" model made. With over 30 years of experience in making guitars, I can help and advise you to create the guitar that you are looking for.
