Isabel is our contoured, comfort-carved take on the classic T-Type, blending timeless style with a few subtle twists to elevate both feel and sound. She’s lightweight, perfectly balanced, and finished in a heavily worn Sherwood Green nitro that looks like it’s survived a lifetime of gigs… and come out all the better for it.
The body is carved from lightweight ash for resonance and comfort, paired with a soft ‘V’ maple neck topped with a dark rosewood fingerboard. Jumbo frets, pearl dots, and a hand-cut bone nut complete the feel—smooth, fast, and broken-in from day one. Whether you’re on stage or in the studio, Isabel invites you to keep playing long after the set is done.
Hardware & Playability
Every detail is chosen for reliability and vibe. The ash body’s contours make this T-Type hug you back, while the worn nitro finish lets it ring and breathe. The soft ‘V’ neck profile is equally at home with thumb-over blues bends or delicate chord work, while 21 jumbo frets offer easy bends and smooth vibrato. High-quality hardware keeps tuning rock solid and intonation spot on, whether you’re digging in or laying back.
Pickups & Electronics
Electronics are kept simple and purposeful:
- T21 Bridge Pickup – Punchy, twangy, and full of bite, perfect for cutting through a mix without harshness.
- Novatron Neck Pickup – Smooth, sweet, and full of character, ideal for warm rhythm work and soulful leads.
- Control Layout – Single master volume and a 3-way toggle. No fuss, no clutter—just straight-up tone.
The Eternal Difference
Like all Eternal builds, Isabel is hand-finished in genuine nitrocellulose lacquer, aged by hand for a naturally worn look that feels instantly familiar.
