"Sophia" the '54 S-Type

"Sophia" the '54 S-Type

£3,200.00Price
Our tribute to the first S-Type from 1954
    • Our stunning "Sophia" '54 S-Type features a one-piece ash body, soft "V" neck profile with rounded fingerboard edges and the now impossible-to-find "short skirt" volume and tone knobs with "football" shaped switch tip. A bullet-proof Callaham vintage repro bridge and Kluson single-line tuners provide stability, and the finish is a succulent, lightly aged two-tone nitro with the juice coming from our era-correct "Timeless '54" pickup set.
