Description

*** Guitar is marked as demo due to blemish on neck heel. Minor paint run under the finish on bass side of neck, as shown in last picture***

The all-new 2023 Baker-T Classic is our latest precision-built American-made electric guitar. Its fantastic new features include our much sought-after pickup design by Matthew Larrivée, custom polished stainless steel hardware, and exclusive vintage electronics. We paint the headstocks to match the body and stamp them with a custom metal vapor logo in chrome and black chrome. All headstocks are fit with high-end Gotoh SDS-510 tuners for ultra-smooth precision. Capping it all in is a multi-layer CNC-made pickguard secured with brass inserts and machine screws.
