Sound Pure's Take

Gazing upon this glorious Mario Guitars S-style is like encountering a seasoned friend, instantly familiar yet uniquely brilliant! This Chocolate Burst Relic beauty is your next true six-string soulmate and an excellent investment in tone and feel. Crafted with a light-as-a-feather 1pc Swamp Ash body and a rock-solid 1pc Maple neck in a comfy Chunky C shape, this instrument just begs to be played. The Nitrocellulose finish beautifully captures that aged, worn-in look, while Rocketfire Total 60’s Pickups deliver perfectly powerful, vintage-voiced sonic splendor. It’s supremely set up by the Mario team and guaranteed to be a rock-solid player right out of its included Deluxe Gig Bag.

From Mario Guitars

When the S-Style was first released in late 1950’s, it was designed with comfort in mind. The T-style had already been released and many people complained of the discomfort it presented with its hard round overs and slab body.  Thus, contours and curves came to the rescue!

 

Since then this guitar style has become an American icon.  Possibly one of the most recognizable electric guitar shapes of all time. Our iteration harnesses the power of Lollar or Lindy Fralin pickups. This legendary guitar style has graced the shoulders of Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and many, many more!
