Product Description

Founded in 2022, Castedosa is a brand new guitar company led by Carlos Lopez — a former Fender Master Builder who spent 16 years at the prestigious Custom Shop division. At Fender, Lopez was renowned for his eccentric builds and considered a specialist when it came to crafting niche, alternative electric guitars with some really twisted specs!

Lopez has brought his signature style over to Castedosa, and their flagship model — the hand-built 'Conchers' baritone — is a truly unique instrument designed to "help players express themselves artistically through both sound and aesthetic." Named after Carlos' late grandfather, who was a great mentor and inspiration in his life, the Conchers evokes a cool retro look and sports a variety of intriguing features that include a 27" scale, a triple threat of TS 90s pickups, Kluson tuners, a Roasted Maple neck, a high-end Mastery vibrato and even an integrated fuzz/octave circuit!

But why a baritone? Carlos Lopez believes that more musicians are "gravitating towards different sonics" in order to discover their voice; naming Ariel Posen and Mark Lettieri as particular influences in the instrument's creation. The Castedosa Conchers really is a one-of-a-kind guitar — blending old-school '60s flair with a wealth of modern, player-centric appointments.

Key Features

  • 27" Baritone Scale — Longer than a conventional electric guitar scale; allowing the instrument to be tuned down while retaining solid string tension. The perfect tool for adventurous musicians after inspiring new sounds!
  • Alder Body — A classic guitar tonewood known for its balanced timbral qualities; forming a perfect sonic bed for the versatile trio of pickups.
  • Quartersawn Roasted Maple Neck — "Roasting" is a modern guitar wood treating process whereby moisture is removed from a timber to reduce its weight and increase rigidity. This makes the Conchers' neck far less vulnerable to warping over time, and ensures incredible tuning stability.
  • Medium "V" Neck Profile — A big, vintage-style shape that's exceptionally comfortable and supportive at all areas of the neck.
  • Rosewood Fingerboard — Luxurious material that provides a smooth, silky touch under the fingers. Features block inlays for a classy look reminiscent of '60s guitars.
  • Medium Jumbo Frets — Large size offers a controllable feel; enabling wide vibrato and pitch-perfect string bends.
  • Mastery Tremolo — A high-end vibrato system that produces rich, piano-like harmonic overtones. Features a valve spring custom-made from high carbon steel, which precisely returns to pitch even after significant use. "Tabless" fulcrum plate ensures even distribution across entire string edge for a smoother pitch bend.
  • Bone Nut — Traditional, low-friction material minimises unwanted tuning slips and boosts sustain.
  • Castedosa Custom TS 90s Pickups — Hand-wound by Carlos Lopez's wife, Stephanie. These low-wind, mild-output pickups beautifully capture the low-end frequencies and yield punchy, crystal-clear sounds responsive to your playing dynamics.
  • Integrated La Raza Fuzz/Octave Circuit — This particular Conchers baritone has a secret weapon under its hood! A cleverly-concealed fuzz/octave circuit lets you engage a vintage, velcro-style fuzz tone whenever inspiration strikes. Just use the two switches on the pickguard to activate the fuzz or octave sounds, and the thumbwheels above the pickups to adjust volume and gain.
  • Crafted in Riverside, California — Every single Castedosa instrument is hand-built by Carlos Lopez at his workshop. You won't find many electric guitars made with as much love and attention-to-detail!
