New neck joint & cutaway redesign make for an easy reach. 24 frets now standard on all models.
T E L L U R I O N

Neck Reinforcement
Twin carbon fiber rods and a modern double-action truss rod produce incredibly stable necks. Rod access now up at the headstock.
Hardware & Electronics
Professional components & hardware by Gotoh. Hand-wired switching circuits. Pickups by Lollar, Duncan, Dark Moon, or TV Jones.
What's Inside?


3D NECK JOINT
More strength and tone. Our new 3-bolt system uses machined inserts & bolts with a dimensional pocket shape.

HAND-WIRED CONTROLS & MODS
All guitars come with unique custom switching, different options on every model.

COMFORTABLE FRET ACCESS
24 Frets with easy access. Ergonomic cutaway bevel and a rounded heel carve.
New Features

With a redesigned neck joint, we’ve implemented a new fretboard layout with 24 frets, now standard on every model. Along with this improvement, we reshaped the cutaway and bevel, giving you comfortable access all the way to the last note.

We offer 2 tone chamber options, plus a solid body choice. Our original dual chamber design has new tonal enhancements. You can choose between fully chambered or half chambered, with or without the f-hole.
Our new neck joint provides more strength, longevity, and tone. This revolutionary 3-bolt system uses machined inserts and bolts with a dimensional pocket shape. It securely locks in place with more surface area. No wood screws here!

Truss rod access at the headstock is standard on many guitars, and we’ve listened to your requests. Our previous model was “vintage style” with access in the pocket. With this redesign we’ve made it easy to adjust your neck relief.
Past Tellurions
We have a bunch of guitars getting set up and prepped for final testing… demo videos coming soon!

Here’s the full demo video of the latest Tellurion model. No effect pedals were used. Just straight through a Peavey Classic 20 running a 12” Celestion speaker. This guitar is partially chambered with no sound hole, all swamp ash. Lollar Eldorado buckers with splits switches for each pickup.

A closer look at a previous headstock. Check out the details on this early custom Transit model. I think the contrast looks awesome. We`ve used this head cap design on a couple guitars. Do you see the `S`?

This was a really cool Transit model. The customer requested a semi-gloss / flat-ish black finish all around on the body and neck with a #variegated #ebony fingerboard. We did an ebony veneer on the head plate to match.

Re-Envisioning the Custom-T
The Tellurion is made to be customized.
The new body shape features ergonomic contouring at the heel, plus an arm bevel and rear comfort carve. Along with the neck joint and fingerboard layout, we've redesigned the cutaway to give you easy access to all 24 frets.
No Wood Screws!
Our new 3D neck joint utilizes a shaped pocket that locks in place with a 3-bolt system. Machined inserts are embedded under the fingerboard, accepting the bolts. With roughly 35% more surface area than a traditional neck joint, our new design makes for better coupling of the neck and body. The added strength gives you more tone.
