Simple. Accessible. Hand made.
This series of instruments is a nod to the classic designs that have had a huge influence on my own work. It’s a way for me to get back to the basics of guitar design, and the joy of making simple things.
Options are refined, the finishes are natural, and the prices are accessible to most.
Gideon
The J.Parsons flagship model, it made sense to offer this as a Solid Body model.
Special features include a Duesenberg Les Trem, Roller Bridge, two Mojo Pickups Gold Foils, loaded into a contoured Alder body.
Starting at $4,600aud (approx $2,990usd)
Silas
I’ve always loved T-style guitars, and the Silas is my take on that.
The contoured Alder body houses MadLove pickups - a single coil neck, and a PAF style humbucker at the bridge, and a hardtail bridge.
Starting at $4,200aud (approx $2,730usd)
Gideon Bass
As a bass player myself, this began as a personal project - to design a P style bass that felt more manageable, especially to people with smaller stature, and could fit in a regular guitar gig bag - this is the result!
32” scale, MadLove P-Pickup, and a compact 2x2 headstock.
Starting at $4,300aud (approx $2,795usd)
