LA CARNE ™La única herramienta que usted necesita

In keeping with my love of 50's and early 60's inspired aesthetics, La Carne™ is, quite simply, a Slab-o-tone! It’s actually a slab and a half (and it sounds it). It starts with the original, but familiar, body shape and full tenon set neck construction. Two custom spec'd Arcane Inc. USA P-90 pickups are placed along with a single aluminum stop bar. Complexity has never sounded so Raw!

Once again veering to the left of the traditional for Custom models that are built to spec, the AAAAA figured Koa Custom Is among the finest in build spec, quality and tonal voice.. The koa I hand select is getting scarce and its beautiful characteristics, articulation and warmth are just unlike any other timber. It starts with a slab of light equatorial mahogany body, one piece quarter sawn Honduran mahogany neck, and a select AAAAA Koa top. Beefy and refined neck profiles and the new Stiletto™ headstock design offering even richer overtones. With a variety of custom options like tremolos and the new hum canceling system. The La Carne Custom Koa™ is a statement all its own.

Taking the symmetrical double cut tradition and running with it we have El Cabillo™. Along with the Equatorial light weight slab and a choice of toneful neck timber options, this model also features late 50's neck profiles. Two custom spec'd Arcane Inc. USA P-90 pickups are placed along with an intonatable wrap around bridge. Options including custom aged finishes which add an even more potent allure and the luster to the instrument creating another true to form work horse!

EL CABILLO ™

The Downtowner Deluxe is a straight forward instrument representing the classic elements of the 1950's builds recognized for their simple perfection. (see Tonequest Report's 2012 review). It utilizes Echopark™ Guitars standard "full tenon" neck construction and features two custom spec'd Arcane Inc. USA P-90 pickups. The 'dog ear' mounted in the bridge position produces a noticeable presence and bark because it is directly mounted to the top of the instrument, while the neck 'soap bar' P-90 produces woody and thick traditional tones. Consistent American aesthetic, quality and a palate of tones in a modern Boutique build.

Drawing upon the vastly rich tradition of the semi-hollowbody build, this model pushes the concept into new territory. I wanted to create a model that would be the best example of all my influences, while displaying a hand crafted instrument that is 100% American made with the build

SOUTH SIDER BIG BOX ™

quality and aesthetic inspired by the modern movement of the 1930's. As found in Eastern America and inspired by Italy's rich tradition of hand crafted instruments.

The ‘‘Book matched” hand carved top’s are selected from the ancient California red wood sinker logs harvested and milled in Northern California. The deeply chambered 3 piece body of Genuine Mahogany and figured Red Maple are the bedrock of this model as is The 3 piece “full tenon” neck. Carved from quarter-sawn Honduran mahogany with a Koa center. It is specifically crafted to produce a more articulate “Grand piano tone”.

Specially designed Echopark /Arcane Inc. USA pickups and German handcrafted harpform trapeze tailpiece round out the resonant, tonal delivery.

This configuration of the Clarence™ model takes the classic contour elements of the world famous 1950's guitar that Freddy Tavares was a key artist in helping to design. I add a three pickup configuration that delivers a tonal palate ranging from the early 1950's Broadcaster bridge to the clear bell tones of the 1962 model. The Clarence Tennessee Model™ features a one piece slab swamp ash body and a one piece maple neck that most complex pickers will find damned satisfying.

CLARENCETENNESSEE MODEL ™

Page 14: Echopark Guitars 2014 Catalog-download

CLARENCE CUSTOM™ Clarence™ is, quite simply, the Echopark Guitar™ that is made in honor of and with great respect to the late Clarence Fender. This is essentially my replication of the Trisonic R&D guitar found in the attic of Leo’s lab (see the “Clarence Story”). I feel it’s my responsibility to make this lost treasure into the musically-minded configuration that he and George might have created. All American vintage aesthetic, quality and a palate of tones in a modern Boutique build.

CLARENCE GC™ (GOLD COIL)

Drawing upon the unique influence of the classic Teisco gold foil pickups, Echopark™ Guitars is proud to present the Clarence GC™. This guitar features a stylized, all new version of the original pickup called the Gold Coil™ pickup which was designed in cooperation with Rob Timmons of Arcane Inc. It is mounted in the guard and coupled with a 1950 lap style grey bobbin in the bridge and a control route similar to a '58 special with 50s Jr. wiring. The Clarence GC™ sings from a one piece slab of southern swamp ash hand selected by Gabriel Currie.

CLARENCE™ GOLD COIL DELUXE

Drawing upon the influence of the Rat Rod Era and so many Blazing Country pickers... Echopark Guitars is proud to present the Clarence™ GC Deluxe. This guitar features the same component spec's as the Gold Coil but has taken it Down and Dirty with the addition of The Classic American Bigsby B-6 Tremolo unit and the ultra Precise Masterey 'offset' bridge for a classic, stylized version of the Gold Coil™

CLARENCE'LIGHT'

LIMITED The Clarence "light" sings from a one piece slab of rare ultra light 40+ yr old southern swamp ash. These are limited in availability as I only have enough to make 40 instruments..It took me 5 years to find the fella who had this in his barn...when its gone...its gone. These are all @4.5 lbs!!

The Clarence “Rose” Limited™ is a homage to a by-gone era. Ironically, the print was

originally used as wall covering in France - perfect for a Echopark™ Guitar!

I have opted to authentically cold check patina and perform a little forced aging on the instrument. These are built in limited

runs of 13 named by state with elements that best evoke the spirit of each location. They are all one of a kind creations

as every model hasits own component appointments

and no detail is missed! These are premium

selects and are tailored to theplayer, collector and

lover of fine American

Craft.

THE CLARENCE "ROSE"LIMITED ™

Page 18: Echopark Guitars 2014 Catalog-download

Raised in the fertile musical landscape of Los Angeles, third generation Dutch nobleman Troy Van Leeuwen took to the lyre, lute and Spanish electric guitars like a crow into the bruised & battered skies. At four years old, the elder Van Leeuwen ushered his young son toward his calling by way of the music of the immortal Chuck Berry. Since that fateful day, his musical vision has taken twist after turn and back again. Allied with some of the most talented, creative and sincere songsmiths alive, his love and never ending passion for textures, tones and the mysteries held within the electric six-stringed instrument have become synonymous with some of the most potent musical artistry available in these modern times. He has spent more than a decade producing, writing and mainly performing the world over. Night after night, he pushes the sonic envelope to re-discover the inspiration that accompanied his first encounter with Chuck Berry that single day so many years ago.

De Leon™- Limited case study of 13 guitars

The De Leon™ features a vintage styled medium soft "V" neck carve, a Echopark™ custom hand-wound pickup set, a custom control layout, and is available in either a Custom Aged or Sleek finish.

Quite simply, the De Leon™ exemplifies the modern-vintage aesthetic of Echopark™ Guitars.

Jonny Two Bags

Known for his uncompromising tone, Jonny’s vintage Juniors are the heart of the SoCal punk rock icons Social Distortion. Jonny and I took what we consider the best elements of the late 1950’s guitars during our design discussions. It only made sense to maintain the rawest form when combining key neck dimensions of his mid 50's and late 50's Juniors to create a modern Wall of Tone.
