Have you seen Oregon Myrtle on a guitars top before? I find it to be absolutely beautiful and the tonal qualities are clear and well-rounded against the chambered swamp ash body. A true work of art that also happens to be a fantastic playing guitar!
Listen to the sound clips we provide on this product page!
So many builders try to come up with a uniwue body shape that will appeal to those looking for something a little less traditional and a little more modern. Jim Soloway hit the nail on the head with the Swan! Just different enough to be unique, but not too extreme. functional, beautiful, and a tone worthy of stage and studio.

The 27-inch scale length is probably the most important design element to the Soloway Swan guitars, and the elongated neck that results from longer scale length is the inspiration for the model name "The Swan".
The scale length (the distance from the nut to the bridge) is a critical characteristic of the design of any guitar. The shorter 24 ?-inch scale length that is typical of Gibson guitars make string easier to bend and contribute to the rich tone. The longer 25 ?-inch scale length of Fender guitars help provide the twang and snap that has made them so useful for country players and the bite that has made them a staple of R&B. When PRS first rose to prominence, one of the characteristics that set them apart was a then unique 25 inch-scale length that emphasized mid-range tones and provided a compromise between the traditional Gibson and Fender formulae.
The 27-inch scale length of the Swan produces a remarkable level of clarity, presence, and articulation that most guitarists have never experienced. When playing a Swan, the notes just seem to jump off the instrument. The Swan Long Neck guitars are not baritones. While they can be very effective in lowered tunings, they are designed to be played at standard pitch.
Even with the longer scale length, the Swan was designed to be a very player friendly guitar. A very thin neck profile, a flat fingerboard radius and extra large frets make the Swan extremely easy to play, so easy in fact that most people don?t even notice the extra length. Difficult chords and intervals are still easy to reach, even at the bottom of the neck.
