The SoCo® Deluxe is our premium configuration of the versatile and distinctive SoCo®.  Featuring ivoroid fingerboard and peghead binding, along with our custom ivoroid knobs and pickup rings, this model provides our highest level of aesthetics and hand-carved solid wood construction.  A 15″ lower bout gives the SoCo® Deluxe a lightweight, comfortable balance and imparts an articulate quality to the complex tone that comes from its solid carved top.  The ergonomic neck heel and long neck tenon ensures that each note can be accessed with ease and will ring with balanced sustain.  The SoCo® Deluxe stands comfortably among the finest offerings available today for the uncompromising electric guitarist.
