A Modern Reinterpretation of a "59'" Icon
This 59' model carries the DNA of the historic models that have inspired guitarists: a simple and recognizable aesthetic, unusual materials (Masonite), and above all the unique character of the Lipstick pickups. Here, the idea is not to copy but to refine the formula with a construction designed for greater stability and immediate playability, while preserving the "rootsy" and direct vibe that makes this type of instrument charming.
For Which Guitarist and Styles?
Designed for the motivated beginner as well as the intermediate guitarist seeking a second guitar with character, this 59' excels when aiming for expressive and lively sounds. It feels particularly at home in vintage rock, garage, surf, indie, pop, blues, and all styles where you want a guitar that "speaks" in the mix, with clarity and bite without heaviness.
The Sound
The tonal personality is primarily built around the Masonite top and back, known for delivering a quick response, a dry and percussive character, and very clear attack. The poplar center block and sides enhance coherence: you gain sustain in the low end and stability, while retaining a natural resonance that adds dimension to chords.
The 2 Lipstick New Old Stock pickups provide an open and articulate sound: present yet musical highs, lively mids, and a clean low end. The 3-position selector allows switching from a sharp and bright register (bridge pickup) to a rounder, singing tone (neck pickup), while the middle position offers a good balance for rhythm playing. The stacked volume and tone controls facilitate quick adjustments, especially for cleaning up crunch with the right hand or softening the high end.
