The Syra Range.
The Syra range started out as a 4 string bass which was designed to appeal to bassists who liked the bolt-on neck concept.
Soon there were orders for 5 string versions so the body shape was slightly enlarged to manage the extra string and the 35" scale length.
Recently I had an order for a 6 string Syra bass so the body had to be adapted again and the concept transferred successfully.
I had often wondered how the body would adapt to a 6 string guitar and when I got the opportunity I built one - in this case a Syra Baritone tuned to low B. It required a little more fiddling with the body to get it to look in proportion and balance on the strap but the result was very satisfying.
So there it is, a whole range from a single idea. In every case the instrument can be customised to suit the customer needs so they are as versatile as their acoustic and electric cousins.
If I can tell you more about the Syra range please contact me.
