Vintage Feel & Sound

Using the highly sought-after 1951 Nocaster as its base, this guitar has an authentic vintage character. Providing the old-school playing experience is the 1-piece Quarter Sawn Maple neck, which features a Nocaster U profile. This comfortable, substantial shape feels great in the hand and adds a thickness to the tone. The narrow tall 6105 frets enhance the vintage vibe and make expressive bending a breeze.

The Ash body is beautifully resonant across the tonal spectrum, with a bold presence that promotes note articulation. It’s coated in a nitrocellulose finish which emphasises the gorgeous wood grain and boosts sustain by allowing the guitar to “breathe”.
