The ARTIST SERIES
Designed in collaboration with Balaguer Artists and built by us.
Available for Pre-Order March 2019
Espada T-BAR
The Espada T-BAR is the offset baritone guitar evolved. The Signature Model for Tony Pizzuti of The Word Alive! His band plays in lower tunings so having a longer scale length is ideal, but he didn’t want it to feel too long or bass-like, so we went with 26.5″, which has the feel of a normal 25.5″ scale guitar but the extra inch really does help with string tension with lower tunings!
– 26.5″ Scale, 24 medium jumbo stainless steel frets
– Hard Rock Maple Neck (Thin D Neck Shape)
– Ebony Fingerboard with Cream Block Inlays (16″ radius)
– One volume, One tone(push/pull for coil split), 3 way switch

WOODMAN BB
The Woodman BB is the Signature Model of Beau Burchell of the band Saosin. We built Beau a USA Custom Woodman years ago when Balaguer Guitars was first getting off the ground, so we already had an idea of what he was into guitar-wise. We wanted to work on something more specific to Beau’s needs as a touring musician, but also as a record producer/engineer. The Woodman BB is tour-proof but also versatile enough for studio use.
