Solwayer Type 1
Our Type 1 electric guitar comes in ash and mahogany bodied versions. The design makes reference to many well-loved features from classic solid-body electrics, in a no-nonsense compact format which simply oozes tone and character.
The Type 1 sports a lone Bare Knuckle 'Mule' open coil humbucker in the bridge position, giving classic crunch combined with excellent note separation. This versatile pickup also features a coil tap for greater tonal variation - using the slug coil.
The 24¾ inch scale length, 12 inch fingerboard radius, jumbo frets and low action also make for easy bends and speedy lead playing.
