Solwayer Type 3
Our Type 3 electric guitar comes in mahogany, korina and ash bodied versions, and shares many classic design features with our Type 1 and 2 guitars - including the retro-style offset body, 3-a-side headstock layout, and neat wraparound bridge / tailpiece.
The Type 3 features a pair of Bare Knuckle 'Nailbomb' open coil humbuckers. As the Bare Knuckle team says, here you have 'chaos in a pickup - no nonsense attitude for huge, aggressive and harmonically rich assault.' You've been warned ...
The 24¾ inch scale length, 12 inch fingerboard radius, jumbo frets and low action make for easy bends and speedy lead playing.
All in all, our Type 3 guitar is a compact powerhouse which punches well above its weight.
