HopeMaker Delta VI String
- Hand Crafted Custom Guitar
- Lifetime Warranty on Body and Neck
My interest in Clear Lucite guitars goes back to my dad working with colored plexiglass and aluminum reflectors for drafting tables called Light tables. They were made with pecan, oak, mahogany, walnut and birch, etc. I first thought about building pick guards and later guitars. I decided with the vast selection of premium woods to choose from for bodies and necks. I wanted an electric guitar made of clear lucite but very expensive, heavy, and hard to machine. Remember there was no personal computers! So I decided to build amplifiers.
The HopeMaker Lucite Body feature over Wood adds the elusive midrange tones that wood lacks for more punch. Much more resonant than wood. Lucite is a very consistent material and much more stable than wood. Previous generation Lucite bodies have been known to be extremely heavy. Ours are milled to be lightweight and ultra-resonant.

Unique Feature from Combining Hardware and Body:
The HopeMaker Delta 6 with Lucite Body and Aluminum stainless steel neck minimizes any change in your tone from the wooden body guitars and weather. The HopeMaker Body and Neck have a Lifetime Warranty.
The neck has 22 Frets with a 25.5” scale. It includes the 12’O Clock High feature to make playing above 12th fret to 22nd easier and makes iconic riffs faster.
The neck is extremely playable beginning with the 1.75" nut width with a thickness of 0.80" at the nut tapered not only on the sides, but the full back of neck all the way to the heel at 2.20" width with a thickness of 0.95" at the 22nd fret.
Optional LED Body Lights

Lucite is also recyclable. All of the excess material is recycled. No trees were damaged in the making of the Hopemaker model!
