Mark with PhatCat® P90s
We took the design of the Mark and added a few tweaks. First, we removed the pick guard to give you the top in all it's glory. Second, we added the Seymour Duncan PhatCat® P90s to the guitar and man…. it made a world of difference! Like the single coil sound but want fatter tone? The PhatCat P90s are the answer!
Features
Masked Binding
Our Mark PhatCat® comes in any of the same colors as our Ashlee model. Like the Ashlee, the Mark has “masked” binding - meaning the top of the guitar is masked off from the side, allowing the natural beauty of the wood to show!
“E” Bend Cut
Our lower horn is cut deeper than most single cut guitars on the market. We’ve cut the horn back below the 22nd fret. This allows you to bend a whole step on the high E String to that last “E”.

Belly Cut
Let’s face it - Leo got it right with this. All of our Mark models come with the belly cut. She hugs you just right!
Spoke Truss Rod
The Mark has a spoke style truss rod to allow for easy adjustment (with almost any tool)
A few things to know:
1. This model comes standard with Seymour Duncan PhatCat® P90 pickups.
2. You can order it custom with humbuckers as well.
The Mark is a bit different than your standard Nashville favorite.
First of all, the neck scale is 24 3/4". You read that right! It's built on the same scale as our Ashlee! If you're the type that feels that extra half inch is just too long… YOU'RE NOT ALONE!! And we're here to help!
My first guitar was a 25 1/2" scale. I always felt like the neck tension and reach slowed me down a bit. Once the shorter scale and my fingers finally crossed paths, I knew that the 24 and 3/4" scale and I would get married.
We’ve also put a spoke truss rod wheel at the base of the neck. This allows for quick adjusting - even if you can’t find your hex wrench.
Did I mention that the Mark also has a belly cut? You're welcome.
