Overview

Perfectly recreated with just a splash of customization.

The Historic Select series share the same construction methods and materials as True Historic guitars including double-carved tops, hide-glue construction, hand-sanded neck and top profiles and reformulated plastic parts. This '59 is a customized, one-off variant with some specific differences. It features CustomBucker pickups with exposed Zebra coils, the tuners are Grover and the gloss finish has been lightly aged. The pickguard and washer plate were not installed, but come inside the case. Basically, you're getting a vintage '59 that's been setup the way a lot of players like it. Includes hardshell case.
