Sound Pure's Take

Unlock a world of vintage vibe and modern playability with this Mario Martin S-model electric guitar. Dressed in a beautiful relic'd 3-Tone Sunburst nitrocellulose finish, this alder-bodied beauty, weighing in at a comfortable 7.1lbs, feels like a cherished friend from the moment you pick it up. The smooth maple neck with its comfortable C shape and compound 9.5-12" rosewood fretboard, featuring perfectly chosen 6125 frets, offers an effortless playing experience across all registers. Paired with the stellar Brickhouse 1963 pickups, this instrument delivers an authentic, articulate voice, capturing classic tones with incredible clarity. This isn't just a guitar; it's a solid investment, crafted with care to ensure it's supremely playable and an absolutely rock-solid companion for your musical journey, truly a joy to behold and play.

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!
