The Eternal "Evangeline" is inspired by our much-loved Isabel model, first introduced in 2019 before finding a whole new legion of admirers when she reappeared several years later.
Sharing the same stripped-back philosophy and wonderfully ergonomic contoured body, Evangeline takes that much-loved formula in a fresh direction, pairing an astonishingly lightweight Korina body with our unique combination of Novatron and Equinox pickups.
Weighing just 5lb 8oz, Evangeline feels almost weightless on the shoulder yet produces an effortlessly rich, resonant voice that encourages you to keep playing long after you intended to stop.
Simple, elegant and endlessly expressive, Evangeline combines boutique craftsmanship with an inspiring playing experience that's unmistakably Eternal.
Body & Finish
Evangeline begins with an exceptionally lightweight two-piece Korina body, selected for its lively acoustic response, rich harmonic character and outstanding resonance.
Finished in luxurious Burgundy Mist nitrocellulose lacquer, the colour shifts beautifully in changing light, moving effortlessly between rich wine, deep plum and subtle metallic highlights.
As with every Eternal guitar, the finish is applied as thinly as possible before receiving our signature sympathetic ageing, including gentle lacquer checking, tasteful edge wear and naturally softened hardware.
The result is an instrument that already feels like an old friend whilst allowing the timber to breathe and resonate exactly as nature intended.
Neck & Feel
Evangeline features a wonderfully comfortable soft-V neck profile, built from subtly figured maple and topped with a dark slab rosewood fingerboard, it combines reassuring substance with exceptional comfort, encouraging relaxed playing whether you're exploring delicate chord voicings or digging into expressive blues bends. The soft V profile feels substantial without ever becoming cumbersome.

Novatron & Equinox Pickups
At the heart of Evangeline lies one of our most versatile pickup combinations yet.
Rather than following convention, we've paired our acclaimed Novatron neck pickup with the brand-new Equinox bridge pickup.
Novatron Neck
Open, articulate and wonderfully expressive, Novatron captures everything we love about the finest vintage Filter'Tron-style pickups. Clear and chime-like with exceptional note separation, it produces beautiful clean tones whilst remaining warm and vocal when driven.
Equinox Bridge
Equinox represents the next evolution of our original T21 bridge pickup.
Sharing the same vintage DNA whilst introducing a broader frequency response, sweeter midrange and greater dynamic sensitivity, Equinox retains all the snap, bite and authority expected from a great T-style bridge pickup, while offering noticeably more body and balance across every string.
Together they produce a remarkably versatile guitar capable of shimmering cleans, expressive blues, vintage rock, country twang and everything in between.
Every pickup is individually hand scatter-wound using traditional materials before receiving light wax potting to preserve maximum sensitivity whilst ensuring dependable stage performance.
Hardware & Electronics
Every component has been carefully selected to complement Evangeline's lightweight, resonant character.
A vintage-style ashtray fitted with knurled steel saddles and through body stringing preserve the unmistakable attack and response of a traditional T-style guitar.
Vintage-style Gotoh split-post tuners provide dependable tuning stability whilst maintaining classic aesthetics.
Premium electronics include:
• Eternal Novatron neck pickup
• Eternal Equinox bridge pickup
• CTS potentiometer
• Switchraft three-way selector switch
• Cloth-covered hook-up wire
• Switchcraft output jack
