Assuming you have read my previous blog post profiling the Combat Guitars Tele Series, I
would now like to continue along profiling another Standard Line of guitars we get frequent orders for.
The popular and classic looking ST Series!
At the risk of sounding completely redundant, I really can't stress it enough that all these examples are just a small taste of what can be done to turn your basic ideas into something spectacular!
Combat has, like the Tele Series, a few options here when considering your body shape/ design. There is a flat top, arched top (St Warm) and Solid body/ Semi-hollow versions of either or. These standard body shapes can get quite customizable. For example, rounded edges like a classic vintage ST, sharper and flatter edges like a Metal influenced Dinky style, and all forms of customizable options regarding the heel cut, elbow cut, waist cut, etc.
I will show some examples with pictures here again depicting the various degrees of customization we have done on recent and past orders of the ST. I'll show some standard St shapes, some flat tops, different waist and elbow cuts, Dinky type shapes, etc. All which have been completely customized as per customer requests and built to their exact desired specs.
The ST Type body shape is a classic and time tested popular design. However, with Combat (as always) when it comes to other options; body cuts, bindings, head shapes, building materials, colors, etc etc- the customizable options are virtually limitless!
BASIC SEMI-CUSTOM LINE
Before getting into the full custom pictures and specs of the Combat ST Series, I think it is relevant to those interested in ST style guitars to, once again, mention our new Basic Semi-Custom Line.
We came up with this option because we wanted to offer our customers, who want a basic ST design guitar, a more affordable option.
The Basic Semi-Custom name comes from the fact that we have created a Combat original ST/Dinky type body shape with two Combat original type head shapes to choose from.
Though we call this line Basic Semi-Custom, there is nothing basic about the amount of customizable options available.
You can take this standard selected body shape, choose from two head designs, and then just simply choose which other options you want for your guitar from our nicely stocked menu list of available options for the Basic Semi-Custom.
There are also two examples of recent orders that have been placed for a Basic Semi-Custom. Here you can see the photos and a spec/price breakdown.
Example 1: HERE
Example 2: HERE
Alright, let's take a look at some ST Series Guitars! I'll mix it up though, though I am temepted to mainly focaus on our original Combat ST-Warm Series (our arched-top ST), I will also include some "Dinky" type shapes, and some nice standard St type guitars.
This, like the profile I have done on the Tele-Series and G-Series, will give you a very clear idea on how far you can take a simple and standard type body design and make it completely original.
