Vintage Classic Butterscotch '52
£1695
Our Vintage Classic Butterscotch '52 takes you back to the '50s, with its distinctive design and sound. This model incorporates an ash body and a checkered nitrocellulose lacquer finish, 1-ply aged nitrocellulose lacquered Black pickguard and 3-saddle brass ashtray bridge. With subtle indications of the ages, such as discoloration of plastic parts and metal hardware showing slight oxidation, this guitar maintains its sheen while the distinctive checking evokes its journey and weathering though time.
Our pair of single-coil '50s pickups, hand-wound to vintage specifications, ensure this guitar retains the classic sound of the era. Other features include our 1-piece maple Vintage "C" neck, 9.5" radius fretboard with rolled edges and black dots, rolled and polished Vintage Jumbo frets, bone nut and vintage-style machine heads. All our guitars now include a Fraser tweed hard case as standard.
