Dynamico Guitars - Los Alamos
When Luthier Jay Ottenwess of Dynamico Guitars had the Alamos in his head, he was thinking back to the late forties/early fifties, when the electric Spanish guitar was in its infancy.

Many elements that were designed into early electric guitars were adapted from the lap steel, the "Los Alamos" incorporates Jay's interpretation of these American iconic guitars; look closely at the chicken head knobs, Oak-Grigsby switch, Bakelite control panel, etc. The Los Alamos you see here is in the standard "Louisiana Hayride" livery; with the tortoiseshell binding, Birdseye maple top, dark stained back and neck, Bigbsy B7, Grover open back tuners, and the ever present Dynamico trademark slanted Lindy Fralin underwound P90's. full details
