The look of this guitar is stunning but the best part about it is the pickup configuration. Vintage P90 pickups have a truly unique sound but they are also know for their noise issues. These are boutique level pickups that have been potted to eliminate microphonics and they are set up for some serious output; 8.4 K at the bridge and 8.2 K at the neck. The best thing about them by far is that the neck pickup is reverse wound, such that when both pickups are selected the provide true humbucking performance (absolutely zero noise at rest, even with the gain dialed up as high as it will go).

The standard acoustic guitar is the most affordable instrument that I make. It is very simple in its design; however you will not find another guitar like it that can match its tone or playability. This is the “hot rod” of basic piezo pickup cigar box guitars.
