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.

These guitars play like a dream!! Can’t wait until we have these on stage with us!!!
Thanks for the comment, Dave!
That’s very cool, let us know how they work out. Are all 4 guitars identical?
