tapable Humbuckers.
The Guitars come with a Tremolo.
( These two are my 'pet projects' that I'm
bringing along slowly.
I want to get them right.
There has been a great
deal of interest in these designs
from
the few people
that have seen the patterns.)
I'm also planning a Zepher
Bass.

THE
Khymera
Guitar &

is the new version of the Chimera of which only one was made.....
..... for Darryl
Page,
who helped to design &
develop her in 1989.
The original Chimera was
equipped with a pair
of EMGs.
The Khymera is a smaller bodied
Mahogany
Electric specially designed for players of
smaller
stature, which has a narrower neck,
thinner body
& is
lighter
than standard but
still allowing for 24 frets
- if required, and still has
great balance.
I'm trying to get a picture of this one as soon as I can.

THE
PHOENIX
Guitar
The Phoenix
has a pair
of 'vintage' Humbuckers.
The Phoenix is a return to
my 'roots', so to speak. In
1981/83
I designed a small
bodied semi-acoustic; and a solid electric with carved top
and back and I still have the
partly built prototypes - of which the solid would today fit well into the 'tone-chambered'
category - with a
little extra design. I'd like to spend a bit of time over the next year or so
getting those designs right after I've
initially made the prototypes of the.....
Zodiak, Swordstress, Vixen, Huntress, Desperado & Renegade Guitars
and
Zepher,
Khymera, Katalina, Vigilante & Widowmaker Guitars & Basses,
..... which are not so very far away from the pattern stage.
So there is a 'whole pile of stuff' to keep my mind occupied over the next several years.
There are 2
pictures of 'Royal' Acoustics in the 'Early
Days' section of the main site.
For Semi-Acoustics I have 4 moulds which
range in size from a 'Small Bodied Semi'
I designed in the early '80s, to three 'Large Semi's' all of which can be configured with
single or
double cutaways or of course the traditional style with no cutaway; and can be
either 'thin-line'
or full depth.
I am planning to do a web project concerning one of these.
