This classic style guitar has existed in many forms since it was first released in 1958. Since then it has been coveted by some of the greatest Rock 'n Roll, Blues and Jazz guitarists that the world has ever known. Legendary names like BB King, Freddie King, John McLaughlin, Larry Carlton, Jorma Kaukonen, Eric Clapton and Elvin Bishop are among the multitude of players who have loved the diverse tones that this type of instrument offers. Now it's your turn!
The Artist Walnut58 was a popular model from a customer survey; you asked, we listened, and now this beautiful new model is here! With the typical set-neck, this guitar is truly a ''blues machine''. Like the body, the neck is constructed of maple with an eco-friendly Eco-Rosewood fretboard. The 22 frets show off the 'Dot' shaped plastic inlays and with the comfortable ''C'' shape neck the tune-o-matic bridge and stop-bar tailpiece, you have a guitar that will not only feel great under your fingers but one that will sustain forever!
The Walnut58 sports chrome-covered VLPA Humbuckers so you have the option of the warm throaty tones of the neck pickup or the biting clean sounds of the bridge pickup. When you set your toggle switch in between neck and bridge pickup you get that wonderful almost out of phase sound from both humbuckers. The Walnut58 also features a top-mounted jack, which is often useful on a larger-bodied guitar.
