The Psari electric guitar by Senez Guitars, based in Montreal, is a stunning blend of tradition and modern craftsmanship. Inspired by organic curves reminiscent of a fish, the Psari model embodies meticulous attention to detail, uniting traditional design elements with innovative building techniques. Crafted with a keen eye for both tradition and innovation, the Psari guitar features a carved three-piece quartersawn Engelmann Spruce body, seamlessly combining curves and straight lines, symbolizing the duality inherent in its design philosophy.

Luthier William Senez, after completing his studies in Guitar Making at the Cégep du Vieux Montréal, established his workshop at the Collectif de Luthier La Corde. He has dedicated himself to crafting top-of-the-line electric guitars, continually refining his skills in wood carving, the application of metallic pigments, and gilding.

Inspired by organic curves reminiscent of a fish

I am most decidedly not inspired...

That neck ain’t coming off! Maybe Pete Townshend in his prime could break it, but no mere mortal could.

I like a lot of this. It’s weird though that they chose to cut the upper bouts off so sharply if they were going for fishy/organic.

 

[Flamencology]

I almost kinda like it.

But I really hate the back and I really hate the headstock.

 

[Aahzz]

That's a new level of hideous.

 

[Gary Blanchard]

It is...unique?

 

[DinoMikeSr]

Add says only one left. My god man, there were more?

 

[Honkridge]

Goofy enough to get a thumbs up from me. It would be even better with fanned frets

 

[xStonr]

Interesting but not for me.

 

[LittleSnakes]

Looks like a fish. Moves like a fish. Steers like a cow.

 

[Gorgon90]

No.

 

[jp_nyc]

I appreciate the attempt.

 

[Tig]

For some reason, the back makes me think of Quick Draw McGraw.

 

[Flatspotter]

I hated it at first, but after looking at it for a while, I kinda like it. The shape is funky but I'd ditch the poop knife, paint it lime gold (Parker), and move the pickup switch.

Is there an announced theme for this week? I'm not sure what I would call it, but these have all been on a wavelength. Today's headstock is certainly a choice. Doesn't look crazy in the full body pics, but the close up is wild.

 

[LeftyTom]

I am not sure the recessed controls will be easy to fiddle with on the fly.

 

[Bob411]

I'm surprised how much I love this.

 

[baimun]

I had planned on getting some Schertler tuners for a build, but I found an Italian tuner maker at NAMM.

 

[jaxn slim]

It's so crazy, I love it! Don't think I'd like playing it, but it's beautiful.

 

[JC777]

It's like an art deco version of the Gibson Theodore.
