The sound and feel makes you feel like you're playing an original instrument from the 50's as if it's straight from the factory. The baseball bat neck and flat pole piece pickup really have that versatile vibe that we know and love through the ages. Plus, the folks at the store are the best! Shoba at store pickup is super friendly!

This iconic instrument boasts an elegant single-cutaway silhouette, reminiscent of the original design, and an adjustable 3-saddle bridge.
