CSS Tobacco Burst HSS Light Relic Ash ‘54

£1595

Our Custom Series Tobacco Burst HSS Light Relic Ash ‘54 S-Style takes you back in time, with a deep contoured body in ash, nitrocellulose lacquer finish, 1-ply aged White pickguard and tremolo.  With indications of the ages, such as discoloration of plastic parts and metal hardware showing signs of oxidation, the Tobacco Burst nitro is lightly worn, with the exposed wood evoking its journey and weathering though time.

Other features include our Vintage "C" 1-piece maple neck with 9.5" radius, rolled fretboard edges, rolled and polished Vintage Jumbo frets, bone nut and vintage-style machine heads.  A duo of single-coil '50s pickups, hand-wound to vintage specifications are accompanied by a hand-wound Zebra Humbucker in the bridge. This model offers lower noise and a little more output for those who play using overdriven sounds.  All our guitars now include a Fraser tweed hard case as standard.
