GW Sunburst Fountain Pen

GW Pens is proud to introduce the Sunburst line of pens! The name "Sunburst" is taken from the popular Sunburst style of guitar bodies, painted and stained to have bright orange centers fading out into reds before ending in black along the edges. The resin caps and sections, all cast in-house, incorporate these very colors.

The pen bodies are made of wood from the fully Fender licensed MusiKraft facility. All of the wood has been fully stabilized and sealed with a cyanoacrylate exterior. To ensure these are truly heirloom quality pieces, they are also all fully lined with Ebonite, extending to form the threads on the pen body.

In guitars, brass hardware can be used to add sustain to the notes. Here, solid brass trim has been added to the cap as a centerband as well as a matching piece of trim on the section.

The cap and body have gentle tapers, with the section having a comfortable pinched area for extended writing or musical composition sessions. The nib is a JoWo #6 using a cartridge/converter fill system.

This pen is shown with Roasted Bird's Eye Maple. Roasting a process luthiers use, where the wood is slowly heated to around 400 degrees before being allowed to slowly cool. This process actually changes the cellular structure of the wood, allowing them to work with a more stable material.

Some of the woods available for this pen (all from the MusiKraft facility) include:

• Bird's Eye Maple
• Bocote
• Curly Maple
• Roasted Bird's Eye Maple
• Roasted Curly Maple
• Rosewood
• Wenge
