About the Teardrop
All of our Teardrop® guitar bodies are made of solid Cuban mahogany. Our necks are crafted out of some of the finest hard-rock maple found anywhere. Additionally, we offer fingerboards that are beautifully and skillfully made, and the high-gloss yellowed finish that protects each of our instruments is both beautiful and functional. We offer Ebony fingerboards, typically a $300 upgrade with other manufacturers! All Phantom®, Teardrop® and MandoGuitars® are hand-assembled in the United States of America with foreign and domestic parts.
Each guitar we build is hand-wired with silver solder, and all of the pickups and hardware we use are proprietary. All of this is done in an effort to replicate the look, overall charm, and feel of the original 1960’s instruments – with added playability.
REMEMBER:
if your guitar doesn’t say Phantom®, Teardrop®, or, MandoGuitar®, it isn’t one!
PLEASE NOTE:
pearl, cream, mint or gold pickguards are available at an additional charge of $35.
