A hand-built offset electric from master luthier Uberfrank, finished in Metallic Avocado with a natural back. Serial #26-032, built April 2026.
Overview
Built by Uberfrank Custom Guitars, this Spellbinder Custom reflects a methodical approach to the offset form: every material decision is considered, and the result is a guitar that feels as good as it looks. The focus here is on tone and touch, with components chosen for character and long-term performance rather than specification sheet appeal.

Tone and Feel
The Sassafras body is open and resonant acoustically, sitting somewhere between swamp ash and alder in character. The Mojo M-foils deliver a clear, detailed voice with strong upper-mid definition. The 6-way Freeway blade gives genuine tonal range, from a focused bridge-only sound through to series combinations that add real weight and sustain. The ebony board brings a fast, precise feel underfoot, and the roasted maple neck is stable and comfortable over extended playing.
