For a planetary Transit to occur, it depends on your relative position, your perspective at the right moment.
Do you like pedals and FX chains, or do you plug in direct? Twang and chicken pickin' or screaming rock leads over power chords? The Transit model is made to be customized. Discover your favorite combination of pickups and bridge styles, or collaborate with me to design your own.
The body shape features ergonomic contouring at the heel, plus an arm bevel and rear comfort carve. The neck joint utilizes a precisely aligned machine-bolt system with threaded inserts embedded into the neck itself. A modern 2-way adjustable truss rod is reinforced with twin carbon fiber tone rods.
The Transit was originally designed with a fully chambered body, giving it added resonance and an open voice. But you can also choose solid body, single chamber, or the original full semi-hollow. We also can do it chambered without the sound hole.
