2009 Pensa MK1, Cherry Sunburst
The MK1 pictured here was built in 2009. It features a 5A Wild Flame Maple top and mahogany body, Heritage Cherry sunburst nitro lacquer finish, with a ‘natural binding’ treatment. The mahogany neck is carved with Pensa’s Standard C shape and features a 25.5” Indian rosewood 22 fret fingerboard with 6105 frets and generously rolled edges. The nut measures 1-5/8”.
The pickups are Lindy Frailin Humbuckers with 8k and 9k resistance and are wired to a 5-way switch. Positions 1,3, and 5 are Gibson-style wired two-pickup, but positions 2 and 4 offer Fender-like Neck and Bridge tone. Position 2 is neck + bridge inside coils, wired in parallel, like a Stratocaster’s mix position; and position 4 is neck + bridge outside coils, in parallel, which is more like a Telecaster’s middle position sound.
This example is in near mint condition and has been carefully set-up in our shop with 10-46 strings. It weighs 7.2 lbs
With original custom Cedar Creek hardshell case
