Sound Pure's Take

This S-Style axe from Bill Nash is the versatile guitarist's dream come true! The smooth Maple neck (pre-worn in all the right places for a comfortable feel for your thumb) is fast and stable just like the traditional "C" profile intended. Perfect for chicken-picking, chord strumming, and aggressive blues crunching, this guitar has an amazing response in the low register and sweet, bright, clear highs. The tall and narrow frets allow for some serious bending action and I was inspired by the thick and meaty sound when I played this bad boy. 

There's a lot going on visually with this guitar too. Talk about a unique color! The Antigua finish was originally introduced with the Fender Coronado semi-hollow to hide scorch marks made to the body during the application of the binding. However, the finish was re-introduced 10 years later to the main line of Fender guitars for purely aesthetic reasons...and what a finish it is!
 
You're going to love the way it feels to hold this guitar and you won't have to put it down - take it to any of your gigs from blues to jazz, country to rock.
