This Hayley Guitars Dorian was specially built for the Great Guitar Build Off 2021. It features a 25.5″ Scale length. Hard Maple Neck with 2 way truss rod with dual carbon fiber reinforcement rods for maximum stability. It has a rosewood fretboard, mahogany body with a Quilted Maple top. This guitar has what I’m calling the Lava Burst finish on the quilted maple. The neck has an oil finish for that natural wood feel, and the body has a water based, high gloss finish to make it shine.
For the hardware, we have Gotoh tuners, Graph tech string tree, graphite nut, Seymour Duncan Nazgul/Sentient humbucker pickup set, Schaller Bridge, CTS 500k pots with chrome knobs, and a switchcraft jack.
This instrument is ready to rock and includes a Gator Brand Gig Bag, and stickers.

Bass, How low can you go? This beast of a bass was a commission build for a local customer. It sounds and looks awesome.

This guitar is one of the early prototypes. It was built as I continue to refine my materials and processes, and the price reflects that. This is your chance to get one of the early models.
