vintage specs to give you an iconic instrument that features

slim tapered neck profile.
Dual ‘60s Burstbucker
Loaded within the all Mahogany construction are two
Burstbucker pickups that project a bright tonal character giving

chord progression that utilises the hotter output and high-end
treble.

its versatility in playability. The gloss finish on the neck
provides a smooth feeling to be able to move easy up and down the
neck with ease.
