Friedman

collapse expand iconDescription

The Friedman Vintage-T electric guitar is a pure rock-and-roll instrument, pairing vintage feel and modern playability for timeless sound. It is crafted with either genuine mahogany or alder for the body, chosen for their classic tonal characters and with each piece hand-selected by Grover Jackson himself. The neck is made of eastern hard maple, paired with a rosewood or maple fingerboard. It has a 10"-14" compound radius, which allows for maximum playability with no chance of your strings fretting out when bending. It also has a Zero-Shift Neck Pin design, featuring two military-grade precision steel dowel pins aligning the body and neck, eliminating neck shift altogether and maximizing the transfer of vibrations.

The Vintage-T’s sound is driven by a set of custom Friedman pickups—either a duo of the Friedman Classic humbucker, or Classic 90. Both pickups feature nickel silver base plates, high-quality copper wire and alnico magnets. The Classic 90 delivers a smooth, warm tone with a very open top-end and touch-sensitive dynamics—the combination of slightly over-wound 42 awg wire coils and traditional Alnico V magnets gives the Classic 90 a fat, yet extremely articulate tone with excellent response to pick attack. The Friedman Classic Humbucker produces vintage-style tone with an exceptionally balanced frequency response, outstanding clarity and extended dynamic range. Additional appointments include vintage-style Gotoh tuners, an aged nitrocellulose lacquer finish and a bone nut. Comes with a custom G&G case.
