2023 Twigg-Smith Astro Sunburst Electric Guitar
This kick-butt version of Jason Twigg-Smith's Astro-body model is a bolt-on, Fender-style instrument. It has one humbucking pickup that can coil-split with a push/pull of the volume knob and between that option and right-hand placement, you can get a huge amount of sounds out of this guitar.
It's lightweight, has a generous, '50s-ish neck profile, and looks-wise reminds me of those old Alamo guitars from the '60s but made fresh and modern. It's a simplified but stand-out design and looks good as well as feels good.
Jason's a Vermont builder (and repairman, too) and it's always nice to have a few of his guitars hanging-up in-shop to enjoy.
