An exceptional piece from Patrick Hufschmid, The Celtic Mica is built from a single piece of impeccably quartersawn, highly figured Sapele mahogany for both the body & neck, topped with a Swiss flame maple cap from Le Jura. The Crelicam ebony fingerboard carries golden C425 brass fretwire, PEEK nut, & Luminlay inlays. A Celtic-knot motif crowns the top a nod to Hufschmid’s Scottish-Welsh heritage making this piece as personal as it is technical.
Electronics feature custom laser-etched Lace Alumitone Deathbuckers, noiseless across any style, paired with a NOS Soviet KSG-2G silver-mica capacitor (0.027 µF ±5%, 500 V) showcased in a plexiglass viewing chamber. Originally engineered for military radio & radar circuits, this capacitor delivers unmatched tone-control precision & visual intrigue. Inside, Hufschmid’s signature copper-verdigris control cavity, copper shielding, & 25 coats of oil-based varnish complete the build. Hipshot hardware & CTS pots ensure bulletproof reliability.
