The magnificence of a chambered body makes itself known with a gorgeous ash construction. Lightweight and comfortable, this guitar begs your fearless and passionate playing... and you won't want to stop. Never experience any of that debilitating shoulder strain, go for hours - a chambered ash body will be sure to enchant you and your audience. Ash offers beautiful resonance that lends itself to a full, immersive sound whilst a scooped midrange makes it balanced yet bright. And with quick attack, stunning articulation, and an obscene dynamic range, this wonderful tonewood is perfect for gigging with.
Fast, fierce fretting
The beauty of maple is showcased on a sumptuously smooth neck that has been crafted in a modern "C" shape for undeniable comfort. This updated design complements the vintage qualities of the pickups and meets the demands of any modern player without impacting that authentic sound. On top lies a luscious fretboard also crafted from maple. It is not only effortless to play, but also enhances your tone with wondrous brightness and clarity. Even when you're strumming the most complex of chords, maple has the ability to separate each and every note, giving you mesmerising textures absent of any muddiness.
Signature sound
Play with pure, articulate sound that evokes simply dreamy escapism. With the Custom Ben Gibbard Vintage-Style Single-Coil Mustang pickups you can do just that. Equipped at the bridge and neck positions, these pickups produce articulate, dynamic, and beautifully immersive sound. It is the tone that Ben Gibbard depends upon. Better still, an innovative hardtail bridge might look vintage, but it actually hides an abundance of modern benefits, providing you with stability, intonation, and that all-important shimmering sustain.
