Mario Guitars T-Style 2019 Nocaster Blonde (5lbs 12oz) NAMM Show Piece

This is one particularly nice T-Style. All the pieces just fell into place incredibly well on this one. A terrific Black Guard from Mario Guitars in Nashville TN. This guitar weighs in at only 5lbs 12oz. Paulownia is a great tone-wood for Fullerton/T-style guitars. It is in a sense a miracle wood, as the tree matures much sooner than Ash or Alder; letting all that excess moisture out without having to even wait a day. Never mind 40-50 years for your guitar to sound its absolute best. Paired with the one piece hand-carved large 50's style Maple neck and a set of Lollar's famous Vintage-T pickups. This guitar just rings like a bell. Twang in spades without any harsh overtones found on many vintage examples. Low action and the notes sustain for days. What more can you ask for? A beautiful and instantly inspiring instrument from the guys at Mario Guitars once again.
