Sparrow Guitars has come up with a line of surf guitars, announced at NAMM 2009.
The Von Drat Continental surf guitar is named after Canadian surf band “the Von Drats.”
It’s got a cool green color, a big pick guard, and a slanted pickup. Apparently it’s available in black as well.
The pickups are Burns Tri-Sonic and the tremolo is Wilkinson tremolo. According to Sparrow it has maple neck, and rosewood fingerboard as well as a volume knob and a tone knob.
