Petra 33
Bob Hartman is not just a great guitarist, he's also a very skilled guitar builder. Through the years he's designed a line-up of different models, and crafted hundreds of guitars. All of his guitars, from the cheaper ones to the most expensive, is first-class craftsmanship. And also his guitars come with a reasonable price, giving you extremely great value! Bob Hartman Guitars (BHG) is definately worth to notice, wether you are a dedicated Pethead or just an ordinary guitar-player.
Now you can order your very own BHG model Petra 33!!! Bob designed this model to commemorate Petra's 33 years of service. This guitar fits just as good on your wall as on the stage. After the Petra Farewell concert last year, we were 4 people who bought one each. Two of us play guitar, and we're very happy with this one. It's definately the favourite in my own collection. The two other don't play guitar, but then they have the coolest ever Petra-souvenir hanging on the wall.
This guitar is a pure joy to play! It's pretty much inspired by the well-known Fender Stratocaster, one of the most popular guitars ever. But it's not just the looks that reminds, the sound is also very similar to an orginal USA-strat, which should tell you how great it really sounds.
The body has a beautiful finish, with turqoise color and a deep shine. The color tone may vary slightly, from almost blue as in the pictures, to more green-shaded. You can use the body as a mirror, and stil see the wood through the color! The pickboard is decorated with all of Petra's albums, arranged in a mosaic pattern. The motive is imprinted into the board itself, so it doesn't wear off, even after extensive use.
The neck has the same radius as a standard strat, making it comfortable and easy to play. The tuning knobs are top quality, and with a high ratio making it easy to fine-tune the guitar. It comes ready to play, fitted with .009 strings.
And of course, you can get the guitar personally signed by Bob.
