Waghorn Guitars is in the process of producing a guitar for Jazz/Fusion guitarist Alex Hutchings.
                
                Neck-through construction is designed to allow access to the short scale 26 fret fingerboard, while the strap button placement is designed to ensure that the AH6 sits in the classical position whether sitting or standing.
The prototype is currently loaded with a Bare Knuckle Abraxas (bridge) and Emerald (neck) set, as well as the Roland GK3 midi pickup system.
At this moment in time this is only a one-off instrument for Hutchings, however, there are plans for expanding the project in the future.
You can see Alex playing an early version of his first prototype on the Multimedia page. For more details, check out www.waghornguitars.com/electric/ah6.php.
