The Fathom measures depth. To the seafarer, what lies beneath is equally important to what lays ahead.
The only non-book match guitar, the Fathom was crafted from a single plank crosscut and folded back on itself. A wave pattern in the wood, visible from the keel end, heads down to the fathoms.
This one-of-a-kind guitar has been sold.
