An arched style that defined an era. The beautifully crafted body glows with the classic hollow body panache, allowing for almost endless sustain. It's truly classic. From high-end sparkle down through a rich mid-range to a balanced low-end, this guitar is packed with versatility. But that's not all, the light frame is kind on your shoulders for those long performances, letting you focus on the complex chords and mesmerising melodies. Paired with a smooth cutaway design, your fretting hand will have easy access to higher frets, encouraging some adventurous playing.
