Booming lows and explosive leads erupt from this one of a kind Dunable Gnarwhal 9-String! The 3 low strings are standard while the high 3 strings are doubled, it has been set up from factory in drop B tuning. This setup is extremely versatile; it can play extremely deep doomy riffs or more progressive baritone parts, while the doubled strings are extremely ethereal, bright and full. The Black Limba body/neck, Redwood Burl top, and Ziricote fretboard are an amazing wood selection, it is bold while not being too flashy. The Limba keeps the acoustic tone resonant with a bit of snap. Grizzly pickups are easily a top choice from the Dunable pickup lineup. Grizzly's can be very versatile for clean and overdriven tones while preserving the signature Dunable growl. Hardware includes the signature Kluson flat mount tailpiece with Nashville TOM bridge, Ratio tuners, orange glow dash fret markers, stainless steel frets, and silver bell knobs. Metals are aged nickel. If you have been looking for a unique tool to add to the belt, or if you are a guitarist who carves their own path this will be the ultimate choice! Access hardshell case included.

Where are Dunable guitars, basses, and pickups made?

Dunable USA Custom Shop guitars, basses, and pickups are built, finished, and set up in southeast Los Angeles, by a small team of skilled individuals who love guitars and riffs, and have dedicated their energy to making these guitars better and better every year. Every person here is a guitar expert, and all came in with professional experience from other big-name USA custom shops, engineering or manufacturing backgrounds, or years of touring as musicians or techs. In some cases all three.

Why do your guitars cost so much money? I saw plenty of others at McGuitar’s for like $300

Unlike whatever you are talking about, these instruments are made in California by skilled, experienced people who are experts at making, playing, and listening to loud electric guitars, meaning we have to be compensated with a livable wage by American standards and by the standard that you would pay an expert to do their job, like a plumber, dentist, or aeronautical engineer. Our guitars are made with meticulous love and care from the moment we mill up a bunch of wood until we make sure the last nut slot is cut just right. You won’t find more level frets or a more one of a kind finish on any guitar anywhere. We also use high quality wood and parts from companies such as Hipshot, Grover, Graphtech, and CTS for electronics, all of which are superior products that come together to make an excellent instrument. Sure, there are tons of great guitars out there that we are fans of as well, but we do our best to be just as good, if not better.

Why do you make your own pickups and why are they better than every other pickup out there?

“Better” when it comes to pickups is mostly subjective, but as it relates to these guitars, Dunable pickups are better because they are designed with the scale length, pickup placements, and construction of a Dunable guitar in mind, which is different than that of most guitars that aftermarket pickups are designed for. I have tried A LOT of the pickups out there in these guitars, and I’ve taken note of what works well in them. Those notes informed the “recipes” of my main pickup models. Of course, these pickups do sound spectacular in any guitar or bass you put them in.

How does the serial number system work?

First two numbers = year, numbers after that are the number in production from that year, so:

19137 = 2019, #137 in line from 2019.

EXCEPT 2020 WHICH IS JUST A 2 AT THE BEGINNING. We realized halfway through the year that we were doing it wrong and never corrected it. So a 2020 serial number would be:

2245 = 2020, 245th guitar in production, or 2034 - 2020, 34th in production.
