Introducing the Leo-CUB! The new little sibling to the standard Leo line.
A streamlined, no-nonsense, more pocket friendly version of the Leo.

I have always had a goal to try and make my guitars as accessible as possible - the CUB is my way of trying to do so! Still 100% handmade by yours truly here in my workshop!

Meet the 'Signature'! The newest model to the Conw

Meet the 'Signature'! The newest model to the Conway line-up, and one I am extremely proud to introduce.

Aptly named as this guitar is my answer to the question of what 'my' perfect guitar is from both a players perspective and a builders perspective.

Mark Peric Signature "MPS" #001
.
Paulownia Body - 3pc New Guinea Rosewood + Ironbark neck - Flame Maple fingerboard and headstock - 30" scale length - 22 frets - Carbon Fibre Hollow Dot inlays - Bartolini Soapbar pickups - Mike Pope preamp - Hipshot A-Style bridge - Hipshot Ultralite tuners - Custom made flame maple knobs - Swamp Ash Ramp and matching pickup covers
.
This 30" shortscale 5 string bass is the brainchild of my good friend @markpericbass. So it only seemed fit to make it his signature model (the first I have done!) It is riddled with amazing features and creature comforts tailored to Mark's taste, developed over decades of playing bass. Compact, lightweight and built for absolute comfort in every aspect - plus, it's looks pretty nice as well!

Antilles Imperial #000
.
Tasmanian Blackwood Top - Old Growth Honduran Mahogany back - Ancient Sequoia Redwood centre-block - Old Growth Honduran Mahogany neck - Darkburst finish - African Ebony Fretboard and Headstock - Mother of Pearl Inlays - Checkerboard top binding - ABM Tuneomatic bridge - Bigsby B3 - Schaller Grandtune tuning machines - @mcnellypickups Dual Blade Toaster pickups - Brushed hardware - Ebony bridge and pickup bases - Ebony truss rod cover
.
A guitar almost 3 years in the making - a journey of evolving ideas between myself and the owner (and co-creator of the Antilles) Mark. Of all the instruments I have made, this is as close as I have come to my 'pièce de résistance'. To say this guitar is special to me is an understatement. Both visually and sonically it has exceeded my expectations, and all I can say is that I hope to make more in the future. I hope you enjoy it too 💙
