The base line features of this guitar include a familiar but updated body shape with a solid maple bolt on neck. Each guitar comes with a unique and highly figured ¼” bookmatched maple top on a solid ash body. Standard options include a custom 12th fret inlay, medium jumbo frets, hand shaped bone nut, dual acting truss rod and hand carved comfort contour on the back. This guitar is strung over an ashtray style bridge with Grover 18:1 chrome tuners. This guitar does not have a pickguard so that the figured maple top is fully visible and comes with the Heckler Custom Guitars “Tele” set with the neck pickup installed in a matching chrome pickup ring that enables the height of both pickups to be adjusted with the strings and covers on the guitar.
The sound of this guitar is best described as bright and punchy. You can feel the sustain and hear the unique nuances of the maple and ash responding to every string attack. It is well suited to play your favorite country lick adjacent to a smooth southern rock phrase. Crank up the gain and you will have a sound that will cut through a band and stand out in the mix without being harsh or shrill.
