Each Adélie is built and finished by hand. Natural variation is part of the process.

Size & Feel

The Adélie has the presence of a full-scale offset without feeling oversized. Its proportions are similar to a Jazzmaster, with a balanced body and a comfortable reach whether seated or standing.

Average weight is approximately 7.4 lb. If you’re comfortable on a Jazzmaster, the Adélie will feel immediately familiar.

Available as a limited run or built to order.

FAQ

What’s the lead time for a custom Adélie?

We’ll confirm the current build timeline before you place your order. Your Adélie is then built within that timeframe, with updates provided along the way.

What’s included with the guitar?

Every Adélie is professionally set up before shipping and includes a soft shell case, along with all relevant documentation (including Mastery Bridge documentation), unless otherwise noted on an individual listing.

Do specs or finishes vary from build to build?

Yes — each guitar is built and finished by hand. We keep the core specs consistent, but details like grain, aging character, and exact pickup readings can vary slightly.

Can I request changes on a custom order?

Often, yes. If you have a preference for finish, hardware, or setup feel, include it when you order (or send us a message) and we’ll confirm what’s possible.

Shipping, duties, and returns — how does it work?

Shipping options are shown at checkout. Duties/taxes may apply depending on your location. If you have any questions before ordering, contact us and we’ll help you choose the best option.
