Every detail of the original is reproduced with obsessive accuracy. Correct 1959 neck profile is rounded and slightly slimmer than the 1952-1958 necks. BurstBucker pickups are exact reproductions of the original "Patent Applied For," pickups that revolutionized electric guitar sound. Even the bumblebee capacitors are re-created in painstaking detail, as are the original formula and thickness lacquer, and the aluminum stop tailpiece. Holly peghead overlay, extended neck tenon and accurate top carving. This version takes authenticity a step further with aged metal hardware and a dulled lacquer finish.
