It produces a real gutsy sound with plenty of volume. Solid Spruce top with Jarrah back, sides and headstock.

Electric Guitars
Nick has made a
few electric guitars, such as "The Electric Sheep", pictured
here.
However he does not make them commercially.
Electric Mandolins
Pictured here
are two electric mandolins that Nick used to play in the band
Squidfinger. The first one was stolen in 1997, so the second was
created to take its place. Here is a sound clip of the second
mandolin and one of his guitars in action.
* These hard cases are not specifically designed for these instruments. They are a tight fit, but they do fit. If your travel guitar has an end pin fitted to the base of the guitar (to hold your strap) that may hinder the fit. It may be possible to trim some of the lining but that is up to the customer.
