THE BLACKNIGHT

Halfway between a Tele deluxe and a Strat Elite, this model has the necessary modifications to qualify as one of our most versatile and professional guitars.
Designed to bring out 100% of the sounds of its humbucker's, it is a guitar with an elaborate electronic design, which adapts to any type of sound that your melodies demand. The wood used as in all our models is of high quality, chosen and treated with great exigency to obtain bodies and masts that are invariable with the passage of time.
Special anatomic recess in the neck, under the last frets to facilitate access for bending.
Its "6-position" switch, which replaces the traditional three-position switch, leaves it up to the owner's imagination to get the most out of it by combining it with the standard dual pickups.
It is manufactured with linden wood body and maple and ebony neck, although we can build it according to the specifications requested by the customer.
