Sound Pure's Take
Weight: 5.85 lbs.
You read that right... 5.85 lbs! We are loving the Mario Martin line of guitars, and this Paulownia T-style is something special. Extremely lightweight and as lively as can be. Also, who doesn't love a nice cowgirl pinup sitting on your control plate while you're shredding away? This one features a custom Fralin 2% overwound neck pickup to give it a little bit extra while offering a killer Lollar 52 bridge pickup to bring out those vintage Tele tones that everyone has come to know and love. The neck is extremely comfortable at a classic C shape, which is roughly .830 at the nut. If you're looking for the vibe, feel, and sound of a vintage T-style guitar, look no further!
From Mario Guitars
When the T-Style hit the market in the 1950’s 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 50′s or 60′s 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.
