Strato Mahogany
An all-mahogany Strato, no top and no solid colour: the wood that usually sits underneath, put in front.
Trappist-1
Black and dry, named after a system of seven planets around a small star. Little light, plenty of density.
Blue Giant
Blue flamed maple on a carved body. Blue giants are the hottest stars there are, and they burn fast.
Rigel
White, taut, with a maple neck. Rigel is the blue supergiant that marks Orion's foot.
Red Giant
Deep red on flamed maple. A red giant is a star at the end of its life, when it swells and catches fire.
Mercury
Solid white, no grain in sight: the smooth surface of the planet closest to the sun.
Nebulosa
A flamed top fading from blue to burnt, like a cloud of gas lit from behind.
Supernova
Purple on flamed maple, with a maple fretboard. Named after what happens to a star when it ends.
Jupiter
A pale open-pored body with an engraved pickguard. The largest in the system, and the lightest to play.
Titan
Matte black, stripped back. Titan is Saturn's moon with an atmosphere, the only one in the system that has one.
Mars
Mahogany left in view, with no colour added: the wood kept the colour it already had.
Velorum
Black with the grain showing through: the name comes from the constellation Vela, the Sails.
Dark Matter
All black, hardware included. Dark matter is the part you cannot see that holds the rest together.
Vega
Spalted maple left natural, with a tortoiseshell pickguard. Vega is the fifth brightest star in the sky.
Sirius
Blue on flamed maple, maple fretboard. Sirius is the brightest star you can see from here.
Venus
Red with a pale pickguard, Telecaster outline. Venus is the hottest planet, not the closest to the sun.
Moon
White, clean, with nothing on it that does not need to be.
Quasar
Flamed red on a carved body. A quasar is the blindingly bright centre of a distant galaxy.
Blue Hypergiant
Blue on flamed maple, the largest of the family. Hypergiants are the most massive stars known.
And the basses
Same workshop, four more strings.
Andromeda
Five strings, neck-through with the maple laminates showing on the back. Andromeda is the galaxy nearest to ours, and in four billion years it will run into it.
Betelgeuse
Red on flamed maple with gold hardware, five strings. Betelgeuse is the red supergiant on Orion's shoulder, and it is about to explode — on a star's timescale.
Kepler
A chambered body with the soundhole opening on the side, and a maple fretboard. Kepler is the telescope that found thousands of planets around other stars.
