The Leisure Caster in Splattered Dark Chocolate
Each guitar is hand crafted by Jasper Adkins in Nashville, TN
What sets The Leisure Caster Apart:
Simplicity, beauty, and craftsmanship are the North Star, guiding every detail of this instrument.Built to be played across genres, anywhere, anytime. The Leisure Caster is handcrafted using natural finishes, including milk paint on the body and a French polished maple neck for a rich, high-gloss finish.
Most guitars built today use a thick coat of poly urethane, but the Leisure Caster utilizes milk paint instead, which is a natural, non toxic finish that leaves a thin, softer coat that allows the wood to resonate, speak freely, and age naturally and beautifully with time.
French polish is a wipe on technique for applying shellac, enhancing the wood grain and all of its natural beauty. It has been a traditional finish used for classical instruments for generations, giving the neck a natural feel that allows the hand to glide along free from resistance.
Shellac flakes are made from the purified resinous secretion of the female lac bug (Kerria lacca), which is harvested from trees in India and Southeast Asia. This raw resin, known as lac, is collected, washed, melted, filtered for impurities, and dried into thin sheets, which are then broken into the flakes.
Equipped with a single gold foil hum bucker by Arcane Inc.
Wound on an antique winding machine and using tuned Alnico Magnets, built with precision milled parts and select grade steel for all the components. Meticulously hand assembled to make a pickup that is the ultimate in quality.
Controlled by a giant volume knob just behind the bridge, fine tuned by a tone knob near the neck. Designed for ease and quick adjustment.
Every neck is bolted on using Nectite threaded inserts. This creates optimum contact between body and neck for ultimate sustain without risk of stripping the wood creating a loose neck bolt.
