If you know Alpher, you know the vibe: bold design, boutique-level execution, & instruments that feel alive in your hands. This is a special one — the first-ever Alpher Hammerhead, built as a fully spec’d custom with an insane amount of passive tonal range, killer ergonomics, & a “broken-in” nitro feel right out of the case.
Lightweight, ridiculously playable, & stacked with usable tones thanks to a clever coil on/off matrix + Stellartone bass control. From vintage thump to tight modern punch, this one covers a lot of ground without ever feeling complicated.

7lb 14oz (lightweight for a 4-string)
