Sound Pure's Take

Weight: 6.7 lbs.

Stunning! All of the Mario guitars we've had so far have been incredible, and this one is no exception. It looks like it's been gigged for years and aged to perfection. The Soft V-neck feels great and comfortable down the neck. Add a killer set of Lollar 52 pickups and you have a monster of a guitar. If you're looking for a great modern-built guitar that feels like it was built by Leo, this is the one :)

From Mario Guitars

When the T-Style hit the market in the 1950s it revolutionized the way guitar music was played.  The T-style is elegantly simple, while also being remarkably versatile. The T-Style has graced the shoulders of Keith Richards, Bruce Springsteen, Merle Haggard and many, many more.

We offer this model mainly in a '50s or '60s style, and the options are many; play around with different pick-up configurations and make a “T” that is totally just for you. Go classically twangy or add humbuckers for a crunch: there is no wrong way to enjoy playing this magnificent instrument.
