- Fylde Custom Single Malt Ariel Guitar: Or, the Whiskey Barrel Guitar. These instruments are unique to Fylde. They are built using timbers reclaimed from the scottish, malt whisky industry. The back & sides are quartered oak from salvaged single malt Whisky casks, which have been soaked in maturing alcohol first in America or Spain, then in Scotland, for perhaps ten years before reaching the Fylde guitar workshop. The neck and fingerboard are made from sections of both timbers. The top is built up from sections of Oregon pine from a washback vessel from the Talisker distillery on the Isle of Skye. This vessel held hot spirit continually for around forty years before the timber came to Fylde. The fingerboard, bridge, and headstock faceplate are whisky barrel oak; the neck is laminated from the Oregan pine washback and oak. Just about the entire guitar is made from the whisky timbers, except for the bracing.
