The neck is carved from mahogany, with a rounded profile that offers a comfortable grip, ensuring effortless playability.
This guitar features a six-position stereo Varitone switch, allowing you to dial in your preferred tone with remarkable precision. The inclusion of a TP-6 fine-tuning tailpiece adds to its exceptional performance, giving you the ability to fine-tune your strings with ease.

Purchased used in 1993; this Lucille has probably done more than a thousand gigs with me since then. It's fantastic!
