A left-handed story in motion
PURPLE MOVES.
THE SONG FOLLOWS.
The Swallow begins before the first chord, with feather-inspired lines moving across a purple gloss surface. Then the smaller details arrive: a Dreamcatcher at the 12th fret, walnut beneath the fingers and a cutaway shaped around the left-handed player.
It is a full-size electro-acoustic guitar with an expressive visual character and a practical route from a quiet room to an amplified one.
The first sweep of colour
Artwork that changes as the guitar moves.
The purple feather design does not sit quietly in one place. It follows the body, catches the light and changes with the angle of the guitar. The Dreamcatcher inlay offers a still point at the centre of that movement.
Beneath the artwork, a spruce top meets linden back and sides. The dreadnought cutaway keeps the familiar full-size presence while opening the upper end of the fretboard to the left hand.
Where the hand travels
Walnut under the fingers, a landmark at the twelfth fret.
The solid-walnut fretboard and bridge bring natural grain into the graphic design. At the 12th fret, the Dreamcatcher inlay becomes a visual landmark; beyond it, the cutaway leaves the remaining frets open to the player.
A slim C-shape catalpa neck, 43 mm bone nut and compensated bone saddle complete the playing foundation without asking the visual story to become quieter.
Before the first chord
Small, familiar turns at the headstock.
The Swallow’s headstock continues the graphic language of the body. Matte-chrome alloy machine heads offer smooth, familiar adjustment, while the two-way truss rod supports the neck beneath the surface.
It is a practical starting point for the instrument: tune, settle the hands and let the artwork fall behind the music.
When the room becomes larger
Shape the sound, then choose the exit.
The F-4T preamp combines master volume, a four-band EQ—bass, middle, treble and presence—and a built-in chromatic tuner with backlit display. The piezoelectric pickup then carries the Swallow beyond its acoustic voice through either a 1/4-inch jack or balanced XLR output.
The work behind the surface
Checked before the story leaves Bristol.
The workshop view brings the Swallow’s physical details closer: the graphic surface, cutaway and the route from bridge to headstock. Before dispatch, every instrument receives a full UK setup so the practical details are checked alongside the finish.
Ready for the next room
A padded place between one session and the next.
The included padded gigbag gives the Swallow a practical home for storage and travel. A 9V battery and Allen key are included too, so the listed essentials are there when the guitar begins its first proper session.
The bag is a quieter detail than the purple finish, but it belongs to the same story: an instrument made to leave the stand and go where the next song happens.

The last note
THE COLOUR ARRIVES FIRST.
THE PLAYER WRITES THE REST.
The Swallow may begin with purple feathers and a Dreamcatcher, but its lasting story is the song that follows when the left hand finds its place.
