Pheo Sfogliatella

DESCRIPTION:
IN PHIL SYLVESTER'S WORDS"I have always been interested in Ned Steinberger’s innovations. Unfortunately, I haven’t liked the way his guitars sound. I've long wondered if it would be possible to build a guitar that integrates some of Steinberger’s ideas, but that would sound as good as the best vintage instruments. The answer is yes, the Sfogliatella. The Sfogialtella’s body is built from pre CBS Fender lap steel swamp ash, the real deal, with over 50 years of aging and play time. The neck is rock maple, 25.5 inch scale, medium C profile. Callaham bridge, OC Duff Plankster bridge pickup, Steinberger tuners. The neck pickup is a vintage, British made Vox pickup (they are some of the best Strat style pickups made if you can find one). The whole guitar breaks down into pieces that fit into a Steinberger GL sized gig bag. Besides the materials, one of the keys to this guitar’s great sound is how the wings are attached to the body core. They attach via long dove tail joints, pulled tight by springs to guarantee the strongest direct wood to wood contact at the joint. The springs also contribute some of the reverby sizzle that Strat tremolos create. The Sfogliatella matches the sound and feel of Leo’s best full scale 50’s guitars, while breaking down small enough to fit carry on and travel with you wherever you go. GL sized gig bag and hard shell case both included."
