The Mindhorn
Series: Electric    

The Mindhorn is our first original design, combining sleek contours and purposeful chamfers with a stylish offset body shape to produce a guitar that is both cool and comfortable. From surf rock to Seattle grunge, the Mindhorn has you covered.
As you like it

The Mindhorn is available in many variations, giving you the power to make it your own. If you like to keep things understated, you’ll love the Mindhorn with simple clay dot inlays and our hand wound single coils with a minimalist half t-style bridge. If you really want to make a statement then pearl block inlays, bound fingerboards, hand wound PAF-style humbuckers and tune-o-matic bridges are available, along with a spectrum of colours and finish styles that’ll ensure you’ll stand out from the crowd.
Louder than Love

The Mindhorn comes equipped with pickups that are hand-wound in house by our experienced team of luthiers, giving you the power to shape your sound right out of the gate. Whichever options you choose, we guarantee our top quality vintage spec components and decades of collective experience will help you nail that tone.
Guitar Noir

Whatever your style, we have the finish for you. For the traditionalist, two or three-tone sunbursts, simple pastels, or go back in black for a classy Mindhorn that’ll never go out of style. Or if you prefer, hot-rod your Mindhorn with candy colours, flakes and metal leaf finishes. All of these options and more will be topped with our traditional Nitro finish, and carefully aged to your desired level, from closet queen to barn find. With imagination as your only limit, we’re sure you’ll find your Mindhorn.
