Solwayer Type 2
Our Type 2 electric guitar comes in ash, korina and mahogany bodied versions, combining many classic design features in a no-nonsense compact format which simply oozes tone and character.
The Type 2 sports a Bare Knuckle 'Mule' open coil black 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. In the neck position, a Bare Knuckle 'Irish Tour' vintage hot single coil with parchment white cover does a sterling job.
The 24¾ inch scale length, 12 inch fingerboard radius, jumbo frets and low action also make for easy bends and speedy lead playing.
With the pickup switching options, all this makes our Type 2 guitar a highly versatile workhorse suitable for all types of music.
