The Degenerate
About this model:
​
The Degenerate was the second guitar designed for the Odessa stable and with a slightly more ‘punk rock’ sensibility, it provides an understated contrast to the DeadBeat. The body though retaining the familiar flat butt edge™ still boasts restrained contouring that allows for a transformative playing experience. The Degenerate is perfect when paired with Humbuckers, but works magnificently with any other pickup combination. This one is ready to take on the world.
​

Neck timbers – usually Maple, but happy to use other timbers, just ask.
Fingerboard timbers – Ebony, Bog Oak, Pau Ferro, Marblewood, Black Walnut etc
Scale Length – happy to accommodate most scale lengths, just ask.
Hardware – essentially your choice, but Hipshot tuners and bridges work well with my builds.

Good quality hardware include CTS pots and Switchcraft switches Pickguards are hand-cut from aluminium and either powder-coated black or left raw.
Finishes – Milk paint, which allows for the grain and texture of the timber to be seen, or an oiled finish.
