Model 228
The 228 is a vintage spec version of the most popular solidbody guitar ever made. Each one is custom made to-order, but there are some common characteristics in each: swamp ash or alder body, one-piece maple neck (rosewood board available), premium hardware and pickups, nitrocellulose lacquer paper-thin finish.
Model 1229
The 1229 is a modified or 'junior' 228. The goal of the 1229 is to create a T-style guitar but with more of a singing quality -- much like a Melody Maker style guitar. There is a slight roll off in the high and low frequencies, and the overall attack is slightly less compared to the 228.
The body and neck of the 1229 are mahogany, and the fretboard is rosewood. The body is cut 1/4" thinner than the 228 (making it 1 1/2" thick). This, along with a thinner neck (although any depth is available) make the guitar more pliable, and a bit more like a bow with strings versus a stiff plank with strings. The result is a little less snap and attack, but more follow-on mids or 'bloom' around the notes.
Model 22
The Model 22 is based on the P51. Swamp ash body and maple neck, single coil pickup, modern bridge. Available on a limited basis.
