Wildwoodians, every once in a while we come across a guitar builder with such singular vision and incredible creativity that we can't help ourselves. The guitar arrives and all activity in the shop ceases as we all crowd around the case and create a chorus of oohs and ahhs. That was the case when the first Conchers Standard 25.5 arrived from our friends at Castedosa guitars. Castedosa Guitars is the brainchild of former Fender Masterbuilder Carlos Lopez, and it was born of his love for his family ("Castedosa" is a combination of the first letters of his name, his wife's name, and his kids' names) and a desire to create his own legacy. It's truly a family endeavor--his wife hand-winds each and every pickup!
The Conchers's design is certainly the sort of creative idea that builds a lasting legacy, too. It takes inspiration from classic Fender shapes like the Tele, the Strat, and the Jazzmaster, but it also doesn't really look like any one guitar. It's evocative of the past, yet it's fresh, new, and exciting. We have no doubt the Conchers Standard 25.5 will make your heartstrings resonate, too!
