The USA Custom Shop Dunable Gnarwhal Cryptid is the kind of boutique electric guitar that immediately feels serious the moment you pick it up. Built in the USA with Dunable’s unmistakable reverse offset body shape and set-neck construction, this Gnarwhal blends modern aggression with refined craftsmanship — the perfect weapon for rock, metal, and expressive, high-gain playing.
This particular example features a figured sapele body paired with a korina neck, delivering a rich, harmonically complex voice with strong mids, tight low end, and excellent resonance. The ebony fingerboard adds snap, clarity, and a fast, articulate response, making every note feel immediate and defined under the fingers. Silver dash inlays keep the look clean and modern while offering excellent visibility on stage.
Finished in a striking Purple Pearl, this Gnarwhal shifts beautifully under light — bold, vibrant, and unmistakably boutique. It’s the kind of finish that commands attention without sacrificing sophistication, perfectly complementing the aggressive yet refined design of the instrument.
Tonally, this guitar is built to cover serious ground. The Grizzly humbuckers deliver powerful output with tight lows, punchy mids, and clear, cutting highs. With the addition of phase and series mini switches, this Gnarwhal opens up a wide range of tonal options — from thick, full humbucker drive to more nuanced, cutting textures that sit perfectly in a mix. The control layout — 1 Volume, 1 Tone, 3-way selector, plus mini switches — keeps everything flexible while remaining intuitive and performance-ready.
Premium hardware rounds it out: a TOM bridge and Kluson tailpiece provide rock-solid tuning stability and sustain, while Graph Tech Ratio tuners ensure precise tuning and balanced string tension across the board.
Handbuilt in the USA, this Dunable Gnarwhal Cryptid USA Custom Shop is a true boutique instrument — resonant, versatile, and visually unforgettable.
If you're searching for a Dunable Gnarwhal with the punch and complexity of figured sapele, the clarity of ebony, expanded switching versatility, and a standout Purple Pearl finish, this one checks every box.
