Hazzard
Sturner Guitars' take on an offset-body electric, built around an ash body and maple neck for a retro-leaning alternative to the 1129.
About this guitar
The Hazzard is Sturner Guitars’ offset-style model, built with an ash body and maple neck/fretboard on the same 24.75” scale as the 1129 but with a simpler single-volume/single-tone control layout. It ships standard with hand-wound neck and bridge pickups and a Gotoh hardtail bridge and tuners. As with the 1129, fully custom built-from-scratch orders of this model are currently paused; it remains available through the maker’s International Series (overseas-built, then finished and set up in Philadelphia) as a customizable order or as an already-built, ready-to-ship one-off instrument.
