The Magretti gives a subtle tip of the hat to offset body design (Fender Jazzmaster, etc...) with attention to detail being the name of the game here.

One of the coolest things about the electric guitar is just how malleable they are with regard to design. A quick look through any “history of the electric guitar” book at your local book store will reveal this truism. Sure, we’re all accustomed to seeing the classic designs from Fender and Gibson, and rightfully so, but look just beneath the surface you’ll find the work of visionaries like Paul Bigsby, Antonio Vandrè Pioli to name but two (if you’re new to them, take a minute and look up their extraordinary guitars). Point being, there is a lot of room for creativity regarding what an electric guitar can be.

Enter Eugene, Oregon-based master builder, Joe Parker and his incredible Magretti model. Utilizing tried and true techniques and materials like bolt-neck construction, a 25 1/2” scale length, swamp ash, maple, and rosewood, Joe has created a model that looks at once modern, yet like one that could have come from a long-lost 60s maker.

The Magretti gives a subtle tip of the hat to offset body design (Fender Jaguar, etc...) with attention to detail being the name of the game here. Deep German Carves on both the top and back of the solid, swamp ash body create a lot of movement and depth while also keeping the player’s comfort in mind.

The ivoroid bound Birdseye Maple neck with an Indian Rosewood fingerboard, with its 60s Oval C feeling carve, 12” radius, and stainless steel frets, delivers a refined/vintage/familiar feel. It’s worth mentioning here that Joe worked at Collings Guitars for 5 years, the last 3 were in the set-up department, so if you’ve played and loved a Collings electric guitar, you’ll have a really good idea of what the Magretti feels and plays like in-hand. That is to say, it’s damned near flawless.

Loaded with Gemini 'LM' Single Coil pickups, Gotoh 2 post bridge and locking tuners, the Magretti reminded us a bit of a great Gretsch Duo Jet-meets-Les Paul regarding tones - clear, strong fundamental, great for clean or edge-of-breakup tones - but with a much more modern playing experience. The trem is incredibly expressive and stable, so no tuning issues here.

We could go on and on here, but suffice it to say, we - along with former Fender Masterbuilder Jay Black - are huge fans of Joe’s work. Like some of our favorite builders - Joe Yanuziello, Scott Heatley, Saul Koll, Damian Probett, etc… - Joe manages to create instruments that are functional works of art. Not to be missed!
