Frequently Asked Questions
-
The Voltmaster is built like an electric but voiced with a luthier’s sensibility — a heavily chambered body, hand‑carved feel, and components chosen for clarity, responsiveness, and musicality.
-
Its chambered construction removes unnecessary mass while increasing resonance. In addition, we use extremely lightweight woods for the body. Typical weight for a completed instrument is 4.7 lb. The result is a guitar that feels alive, reduces fatigue, and responds instantly under the hands.
-
TV Jones pickups offer the clarity, dynamic range, and character that match the Voltmaster’s design philosophy. They let the guitar’s natural voice come through rather than masking it.
-
We select tonewoods for resonance, stability, and weight — each piece chosen individually to complement the chambered design and deliver a balanced, articulate voice. Typical body woods are Paulownia, Cedar, and Redwood. Typical neck construction is walnut with maple laminations. The top/soundboard woods are limitless.
-
Absolutely. Its combination of clarity, punch, and dynamic sensitivity makes it equally at home in rock, blues, country, indie, worship, and studio work.
-
The Voltmaster’s wiring is intentionally simple and intuitive, allowing players to move from clean chime to thick drive without losing definition or touch sensitivity.
-
Yes. Its lightweight build reduces long‑set fatigue, and its construction is stable, reliable, and designed to hold up to real‑world use.
-
We offer select customizations within the Voltmaster platform — top/soundboard woods, pickup options — while keeping the core design consistent for tonal integrity.
-
Every Voltmaster is handcrafted in Wisconsin by two sets of hands — Paul's and Lane’s — ensuring consistency, intention, and a personal connection to every instrument.
-
Lead times vary depending on the queue, but each guitar is built with the same level of attention and detail. We can provide an estimated timeline when an order is placed.
-
Yes — in a good way. The chambering adds resonance and liveliness without sacrificing sustain, giving the guitar a more open, expressive feel.
-
Players who value clarity, responsiveness, and a guitar that feels like an extension of their hands — from working musicians to collectors who appreciate intentional craft.
