#013 Shadow 6
#13 Shadow-6 Prototype
Original Shadow Prototype
Built October 24, 2022
Handcrafted by Shane Klesh – Colorado, USA
The #13 Shadow-6 Prototype is the original prototype of the Shadow series and represents the first instrument of its kind ever produced by Klesh Guitars.
Built entirely by hand in the Klesh Guitars Custom Shop, the Shadow-6 was designed around the concept of combining premium tonewoods, modern performance, and a streamlined control layout into a powerful and responsive instrument.
A 25.5" scale length and 24-fret design provide familiar playability while the Mahogany body and Black Limba top deliver warmth, sustain, and visual character. The Eastern Rock Maple neck and Ebony fingerboard provide stability, clarity, and fast response across the entire fretboard.
Equipped with a Seymour Duncan Nazgûl humbucker and a simplified single-volume control layout, the Shadow-6 delivers aggressive output, exceptional articulation, and outstanding note separation, making it well suited for modern metal, hard rock, and progressive playing styles.
Finished in natural Satin Nitrocellulose lacquer, the Shadow-6 showcases the beauty of its materials while maintaining a smooth and comfortable feel.
