Gopherwood

T-modern V

This is an electric guitar designed for a modern sound with a typical tele body shape, Alder body wood, a hardtail bridge, and covered humbucker pickups.
In particular, the TESLA JanBucker pickups, which mix the greasy and warm characteristics of Alnico 5 magnets with the strong and edgy sound of ceramic magnets, can create a unique and intense tone.
It features a string-thru hardtail bridge securely fastened to the body to cater to the hard rock genre that prefers drop tuning and thick gauge strings.

North American Alder Body

Alder, a tonewood favored by many electric guitar builders, has excellent midrange expressiveness and a mild treble range.
In particular, by using carefully selected and well-managed North American alder wood, the guitar will provide rich harmonics as it ages through years of play.
The 45mm thick solid body creates a foundation for expressing thick mid-to-low range tones.

Semi Rounded Neck Joint

This guitar uses a bolt-on neck joint secured with four bolts, and features a semi-rounded neck joint with smoothed edges for easier playing at the high frets.
Each bolt is made with an optimal length and thickness for the neck joint, and is precisely set to the correct tightening torque to prevent any unwanted buzzing or rattling sounds, ensuring a sturdy and reliable connection between the neck and body.

TESLA JanBucker Pickup Set

The TESLA JanBucker Pickup Set combines an Alnico 5 magnet, which provides a rich and warm sound, with a ceramic magnet that produces a high output and edgy sound. This dual-character pickup set expands the tonal range of the player, offering not only thick and clean tones but also powerful drive tones for hard genres like Janus.
In addition, this pickup set is equipped with high-quality components such as a high-grade metallized capacitor, reliable pots and pickup selector, and premium wiring to increase the player's satisfaction with their sound.

TESLA JanBucker Pickup Set

The pickup set is designed to reproduce the hard rock sound of the 1980s, and for this purpose, it features a high-output humbucker pickup that uses a tough PC bobbins and copper coils with a polyurethane coating.
To enhance the magnetic field, ceramic magnets are added on both sides of the Alnico 5 magnet bar, which is aligned with the polarity of the pickup. This design helps to produce a stronger magnetic field and contribute to the distinctive sound of the JanBucker pickups.
* Neck: 10.0 KΩ D.C.Resistance / 6.1 kHz Resonant Peak / 50mm Spacing / Mid Output Level
* Bridge: 17.0 KΩ D.C.Resistance / 5.8 kHz Resonant Peak / 52mm Spacing / Mid-High Output Level

PU selector and Electronics

The guitar is equipped with a 3-way pickup selector that outputs the bridge pickup at the 1st position, both bridge and neck pickups at the 2nd position, and the neck pickup at the 3rd position.
The master volume and master tone knobs are finished with chrome plating and mounted on the control plate.
Each knob's potentiometer (POT) is rated at 500K, allowing for a wide range of tonal expression from open and bright to smooth and mellow. The guitar also features high-quality wiring for optimal signal transfer and tonal clarity.

Pearl Pickguard

The Jet Black color model features a black pearl pickguard, while the Floral White color model features a white pearl for color matching.
Using a traditional pickguard design familiar to modern concept guitars, you can experience a unique harmony between a powerful sound and a traditional appearance.

Metal Logo and Oiled Bone Nut

The glossy headstock is finished with a metal logo that helps increase sustain.
Reliable die-cast tuners with a high-quality, laser-engraved Gopherwood logo are installed.
The premium oiled bone nut is made by soaking it in plant-based oil for a long time, which fills the fine holes in the nut and ensures stable tuning even during frequent bending, as well as providing clear and open sound.

Rosewood Fretboard

The carefully selected rosewood fretboard, made from well-maintained rosewood material, features 21 nickel frets in the medium jumbo size preferred by many players.
The surface of the nickel frets, which are the most effective in producing vintage tones, has been finely polished to provide a smooth bending experience.
The rosewood fretboard, which is made of dense material, delivers a thicker midrange sound and has a 9.5-inch radius for comfortable playing.

Vintage-C shape Maple Neck

The sturdy maple neck, well maintained under consistent temperature and humidity, enhances the reliability of playing.
The vintage-C shape neck profile provides a dense mid-range and improved durability with the addition of a skunk stripe.
The back of the neck is finished with a matte finish, which provides a comfortable playing experience.

String-through-body Hard-tail Bridge

The string-through-body hard-tail bridge was chosen to suit the genre of hard rock, which often involves using low tunings or thicker gauge guitar strings.
The bridge allows for precise intonation adjustments even with different tuning methods, and ensures stable tuning.
It also makes it easy to switch between drop-D tuning and standard tuning by simply changing the tuning of the 6th string.

15mm Padded Gigbag

This durable gigbag features 15mm padding to protect your guitar.
The thick padding is also added to the bottom to prevent damage to the guitar's bottom from strap pin impact when placed standing on the ground.
It comes with a neck pillow for neck protection and stability, and tough fabric is added to areas where the strings, headstock, bridge, and other metal parts come into contact to prevent wear and tear.
