The Classic - The modified, traditional "S" can get no better than this with pickguard styling and your choice of traditional body woods. We took the vintage "S" of your dreams and improved it.
The most profound, best playing and best sounding vintage double cut-away? Clearly undisputed, "Yes!" is the answer. The whole story: When something remains as an unrealized dream for long enough it becomes a fantasy. A fantasy is the belief that there is no such thing in the real world. This is a mindset that surrounds the legend of the "vintage guitar." That it is unobtainable. That you cannot have a vintage instrument that will play like lightning, sing like angels and be reasonably priced. But when we look deeply, we see that this is a mistaken perception and once perception is corrected, bliss returns. Bliss is restored to the musical world in the form of: The Classic. The Classic is the vintage guitar of your wildest dreams, and beyond, the one you always knew should exist but you were unable to touch in physical form, until now. For a pure vintage vibe, an Alder or Swamp Ash body is hand-selected and kiln dried to perfection.
Alder is the first and most popular choice among players, as an alder body bestows it gifts of full and boosted low-mid frequencies accompanied by predominate upper mid prominence. It is these qualities that bring big single coil tones effortlessly forward in the mix, when paired with the right amp for you.
60’s Vibe Neck: The defining character of the 60’s Vibe neck is an increase in depth as your hand moves from 1st to 12 fret. With an early 60’s style taper, it is considered a medium-depth neck at the first few frets and becomes a substantial neck when you grab a handful in the upper regions of the fretboard.
- -.020 60's Vibe: (affectionately known as 62 Pete) :.815-inch at the first fret to .940 at the 12th fret
Humbuckers enjoy a lower end bump and slightly less all-middle-only tone.
H Series Pickups
The time honored Anderson humbucker series. A complete line of broadband (full frequency response) humbuckers, characterized by ample amounts of lows and highs while still having plenty of midrange power, never squashed or narrow but always big, full and robust. Due to their construction, these pickups also split amazingly well.
H1: The perfect neck pickup to balance with the H2+ at the bridge, full, throaty neck humbucker tones that are never bloated, open, clear and rich, splits really well, with a little more output and fullness for additional oomph. Specs: DC Resistance: 6.0 kΩ, EQ(0-10) Bass: 4.7 Mid: 5.0 Treble: 4.0, Magnet: Ceramic
H2+: Perhaps our most popular bridge humbucker. Not too hot, not too cold but just right with a big low end. Full mids without giving up all the highs and lows. Specs: DC Resistance: 11 kΩ, EQ(0-10) Bass: 3.5 Mid: 7.0 Treble: 6.0, Magnet: Ceramic
