< Scintilla CF-100T
Thinline
acoustic-electric featuring x-braced Sitka Spruce top; Honduras Mahogany
back, sides and neck; Rosewood fingerboard and bridge; nitro-cellulose
sunburst finish. Gibson P-100 pickup + Fishman Matrix transducer; CTS
pots.
The CF-100T has a correctly-tensioned
soundboard and back, but has band-sawn rather than bent) sides and
a long
tenon neck joint. This “semi-solidbody” construction technique results
in an exceptional-sounding amplified acoustic guitar that deals easily
with the volume and resonances associated with playing live with bass
and drums. |

< Scintilla Green
Dolphin
American Red Alder body
with Swamp Ash “soundboard”; Rock Maple neck; Fender Custom Shop
pickups; Fender vintage-style bridge assembly with compensated brass
saddles; CTS pots, Switchcraft socket; Gotoh Kluson-replica tuners;
lacquer finish is the original Fender “Surf Green” (actually a 1961
Chevrolet colour!)
The Green Dolphin is a
semi-hollow solidbody guitar with a dolphin-shaped soundhole. The inside
of the soundhole is finished in a darker sea-green lacquer. This design
of guitar has always provided the clarity of the legendary Telecaster
but with perhaps a little less “bite” - the Green Dolphin has a sweet
and clear tone. |

< Scintilla LG Custom
000-grade Sitka Spruce
soundboard; Sapele back and sides; Honduras Mahogany neck; dovetail
neck joint; Ebony fingerboard; Brazilian rosewood bridge and headstock
veneer; nitro-cellulose lacquer finish.
This guitar is based on
the 1950s Gibson LG-3 but with an opened 106 degree x-brace rather than
the LG-3s 90 degrees. This affords the instrument a little more bass
response while retaining the clarity and separation of this classic
small-body design. This particular guitar was custom-ordered with a
slightly wider-than-standard fingerboard (1⅞”), a common request from
fingerpickers. |

< Scintilla TV
Special
One-piece Honduras
Mahogany body; Honduras Mahogany neck; long tenon neck joint; Brazilian
Rosewood fingerboard; nitro-cellulose “limed mahogany (TV)” finish;
Jason Lollar pickups; Tone-Pros hardware; CTS pots; Switchcraft socket
and switch.
The combination of
lightweight mahogany and P-90 style pickups makes this guitar's tone
rich and warm. Andrew has a limited quantity of single-piece boards of
this wonderful, but now endangered, tone-wood. |

< Scintilla Tiny
Elephant
Single-piece Honduras
Mahogany body; Honduras Mahogany neck; mortice and tenon neck join;
Ebony fingerboard; Gibson Mini-Humbucker; Tone-Pros bridge; CTS pots;
Switchcraft socket.
Named after its
headstock inlay of a tiny elephant, this is Andrew Knight's personal
guitar. The single pickup is positioned slightly away from the 2nd
octave harmonic resulting in a brighter tone than any “neck position”
pickup has a right to be. This position also makes guitars more
“pick-sensitive” enabling the player to control the variation of tone
with their right hand. |

< Scintilla Dragonfly
Bass
American Red Alder body
with ¼” flamed maple cap.
Bird's-eye maple neck
with rosewood fingerboard. Long tenon set neck. Gibson EB-0 pickup and
bridge; CTS pots; Switchcraft socket; Gotoh tuners; red-stained
nitro-cellulose lacquer finish.
This is a short-scale
bass (30.125”) that combines the construction and electrics of a Gibson
EB-0 with the materials and ergonomics of a Fender bass. The instrument
is named after its hand-cut pearl and abalone dragonfly headstock
inlay. |
