Overview
A mahogany center block inside the semi-hollow double cut body reduces feedback, according to the maker, while the arched mahogany top and back carry an airy, crisp tone. The neck is a modern thin U profile that joins the body at the eighteenth fret.
The reason to look at it is the center block for reduced feedback, paired with coil splitting for single coil tones from either pickup. The limitation is the right-hand orientation and a warranty that runs shorter on the electronics and hardware than on the instrument.
Who it's for
Players who like an airy, vintage voice with feedback control at higher volume will see the point of this model, and the neck joint gives easy access to the upper register. Left-handed players, and anyone who wants a case or a vibrato tailpiece in this listing, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Mahogany center block
- Push-pull coil splitting
- Arched mahogany top and back
- Fast, thin U neck profile
- Case not confirmed
- Parts carry a shorter warranty than the body
Performance notes
The center block stiffens the body and reduces the feedback a fully hollow body makes at volume, while the open chambers still give the airy tone. The humbuckers supply a rich vintage voice, and the push-pull switch lets either one act as a single coil. The Tune-O-Matic bridge and vintage tuners are meant to help the strings tune easily and hold pitch.
