Useful info

In the pictures below you will be able to visually get a sense of the dimensions by comparing it to some well known guitars.

In this section you’ll read about how to order and select your colours and finished with example pictures. You’ll also learn what is the oil n wax finish we use and matching headstock stands for.

Colour types

We don’t offer a fixed colour catalogue. Instead, you simply select the type of colour, and we’ll define the exact colour tone together afterwards. Here are some examples of the colour types we offer: solid colour, translucent colour, sunburst style, no colour (natural wood), metallic, and sparkle.

Pickguards

All of the 3 Daro models are projected with a pickguard. The model A has two options. Model F and P have only one design for each.

Tuners

Model A and Model F
Equipped with Schertler or Kluson open-back tuning machines. These open-gear designs reduce headstock mass while maintaining smooth gear engagement and precise tuning control. They also allow easier inspection, lubrication, and long-term maintenance.

Gotoh Kluson-style locking tuners are available as an option.

Model P
Fitted with Gotoh Kluson-style tuners, available in locking or non-locking configurations. A Standard of quality. Consistent rotational resistance, precise tuning control. Looks of the classics.

Bridges and Vibrato Units

Model A and Model P with DG Tremolo
When configured with the DG Tremolo system, we use the KMS JAM bridge. This bridge is chosen for its structural rigidity, string slots that allow the string to glide smoothly on top of the saddle and prevent the string to pop out of it, making it have a reliable return-to-pitch performance and stable general stable use with a vibrato system.

Model A with Bigsby B3 or B11
Features an ABM roller bridge combined with a Towner down tension bar.
The roller bridge reduces friction at the saddle steep contact point, allowing smoother string movement during vibrato use. The Towner tension bar enables precise break angle adjustment over the saddles without excessive downward pressure, preventing the string from popping out of the saddle, maximize tone and minimizing tuning instability commonly associated with traditional Bigsby setups.

Model F with Bigsby B3 or B11

When using a Bigsby B3 or B11 on the Model F, we do not pair it with an ABM roller bridge. The fully hollow body construction does not allow sufficient break angle to ensure the strings remain securely seated in the saddles during performance.

The fully hollow structure also does not permit the installation of a Towner down tension bar. The string break angle is established during the neck set process and, by design, cannot be made steep enough to optimize the performance of an ABM roller bridge.

For this reason, we take a more traditional approach on the Model F and use our TOM-style bridge configuration, allowing the strings to seat and glide securely over the saddle slots that we make sure are deep enough. In this context, a solid, fixed bridge without additional top-mounted hardware provides maximum tonal response from a fully hollow instrument.

We prefer this more rigid bridge design here, minimizing mechanical variables, preserving resonance, and ensuring string stability.

Model A and Model F with Fixed Tailpiece
Use a Göldo 3-Point Vario TOM-style bridge. The three-point design allows a solid saddle positioning, wasting very little energy with parts unnecessary vibrations. Therefore keeping a solid string-to-body energy transfer.

Strap Pins

All models are fitted with self-locking strap pins as standard, ensuring secure strap retention without additional hardware modifications.

Custom Metal Parts

We manufacture some components in-house to make sure things sit were and how we want it and also to keep design coherence across the instrument.

This includes:
– Tailpieces
– Pickup rings
– Jack plates
– Logo plates
