Description
Stripped down and hot-rodded, the G6136SLBP Brian Setzer Black Phoenix is designed and built for speed. The single-cutaway hollowbody has an arched top and back, 1959 trestle bracing and oversized f-holes; the maple neck has a 9.5-radius ebony fingerboard with 22 medium frets and mother-of-pearl Neo-Classic Thumbnail inlays.
Other features include dual TV Jones Brian Setzer "Signature" pickups, three-position pickup switch, jeweled single master volume control, silver-sparkle binding (body, fingerboard and headstock), silver plexi pickguard with Phoenix silhouette graphic, pinned Adjusto-Matic bridge and Bigsby B6C vibrato tailpiece Schaller strap locks, Grover Imperial tuners and gloss black nitrocellulose lacquer finish.
"The Black Phoenix is the Big Kahuna. This guitar is just wow! It's got a longer scale and that is really helpful in the upper register when you are playing up high you just have more room up there. Its so clean sounding. It's got the full 17" body and the new pickups. But unlike a Falcon, the Phoenix does not have the tone controls. It's a little clearer, a little louder. It's just a beautiful guitar. We just changed a couple things and added all the modern updates. And the silver sparkle binding on the black ... I mean, yeah, it's just cool. It rocks my world." - Brian Setzer
