Shabat Lion Deluxe Electric Guitar in Black Over Gold

Shabat describe their Lion Deluxe model as an electric guitar that's "all about options and big, heavy tone." The Lion Deluxe's Mahogany body comes loaded with a pair of Lollar Imperial humbuckers to yield thick and powerful rock sounds, complete with an ergonomic tummy cut for superb playing comfort.

The T-shaped body is paired with a bolt-on Mahogany neck adorned with a silky-smooth Ebony fingerboard, featuring a modern compound radius for stellar playability. The black (over gold) finish, bound body/neck and pearloid block inlays exude a luxury "tuxedo" vibe too — just like an early '70s T-style has been blended with a custom LP! Hand-crafted in Los Angeles, California to highest of standards — the Shabat Lion Deluxe is an exquisite instrument that'll easily become your number one workhorse for the studio and the stage.

Key Features

• Mahogany Construction — This timeless tonewood (used for the body/neck) yields a deep and sustain-rich sound, giving the guitar a truly compelling voice.
• Chunky '59 Neck Profile — Old-school neck carve will suit traditionalists seeking that glorious "golden era" vintage feel.
• 9.5"-12" Compound Radius Fingerboard — This ergonomic fingerboard radius is rounded at the lower end of the neck to make chords easier to fret, and flattens out the higher you go so that fast passages feel much easier to play. It also helps to prevent string bends from fretting out!
• Lollar Imperial Humbuckers — These are Lollar's take on the original 1950s P.A.F. pickup. Designed to draw from the long revered qualities of the original P.A.F.s, these 'buckers improve on their frequency balance and offer a slight boost to the bridge pickup's output.
• Graph Tech TUSQ XL Nut — Material is impregnated with PTFE, the slipperiest substance on earth! This alleviates the binding grip that the nut has on the strings, to make sure that they glide back into tune.
• Handcrafted in the USA — This premium electric guitar is built in California for the most discerning of musicians, promising "a level of performance any artist would expect from a professionally-designed, handcrafted instrument."
