A very unique finish- We start with a solid ash body- nice weight, nice grain- and apply a dark stain that is then sanded back to reveal the grain pattern a little more- It's a beautiful finish... We've sourced some of the best wood EVER for a guitar under $500- And we're under $200!



Gorgeous Vintage Styling, Quality components, Hand picked woods, hand dressed frets, hand cut Graphtech NuBone GRAPHITE nutâ€¦ Heck weâ€™ve already upgraded the HELL out of this thing!



The XV-820 takes the classic single cutaway guitar to a whole new level of quality and value. NEVER has there been a guitar at this price with this level of playability, hand craftsmanship and amplified tone.



We hand pick nicely figured, nicely weighted Ash. No glue-hogs for us- only 3 piece bodies, finished in super hard, super thin, super light Catalyzed Urethane, hand buffed to a deafening gloss. PLEASE donâ€™t compare these to other sub $200 guitars- compare them to the BEST out there.



Weâ€™ve installed only the best- Our own steel vintage base-plate with chromed solid brass alloy saddles, Full sized Alpha potentiometers for smooth response, a FULL RETAIL GFS â€œFat TC Alnicoâ€ pickup in the bridge and the matching â€œClassic TC Alnicoâ€ at the neck. The neck pickup is RW/RP so the middle position is noise canceling.
