A 1959 Classic Updated
Inspired by late 1950s guitars, this 59' Shorthorn features an immediately recognizable aesthetic and an atypical luthiery that has marked the history of vintage sounds. This modernized version retains the sought-after "roots" and direct character favored by many guitarists, while offering more reliable playability for everyday use thanks to a maple bolt-on neck and a dual-action truss rod.
Who Is It For, and Which Styles?
This guitar is aimed at beginner to intermediate guitarists who want an electric guitar that's easy to handle, as well as more experienced musicians seeking a different tonal color from more classic formats. It excels in surf, garage, indie, blues, and pop: all styles that require a crisp attack, clear chords, and a lively sound, whether clean or slightly crunchy.
The Sound
The combination of Isorel (top/back) + poplar (central block and sides) provides a quick response with a "dry" and musical resonance feel, highly appreciated for rhythmic playing. The Lipstick New Old Stock pickups deliver a bright timbre, well-controlled low end, and excellent attack definition, helping chords stay clear even with effects. Thanks to the 3-position selector and stacked volume and tone controls, you can finely shape the tone: rounder neck position, sharper bridge position, or the middle position for a snappy and versatile balance.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To get the best out of it, plan on using a set of electric guitar strings suited to your usual gauge, as well as a good quality 6.35 mm jack cable to preserve the pickups' dynamics.
