CSS Black HSS Medium Relic ‘60s
£1645
Our Custom Series Black HSS Medium Relic ‘60s S-Style takes you back in time, with a deep contoured body in alder, nitrocellulose lacquer finish, 3-ply aged Black pickguard and tremolo. With indications of the ages, such as discoloration of plastic parts and metal hardware showing moderate signs of oxidation, the Black nitro is 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 '60s pickups, hand-wound to vintage specifications are accompanied by a hand-wound '59 PAF in the bridge. The 5-way switch, Volume/Master Tone, incorporates an S-1 volume switch - enabling you to split the PAF to single coil at the push of a button and Master Tone, to increase versatility. This model offers lower noise and a little more output for those who play using overdriven sounds.
