"Betsy" is my take on a twin pickup Junior, but with simplified electronics for a less cluttered control layout. A simple, unfussy design yet packed with tone. Featuring a one-piece body with three-piece laminated neck for added strength (the headstock won't break off on this one) with a dark rosewood fingerboard and 22 jumbo frets on a 12" radius and handmade bone nut. Hardware is all high quality Gotoh and Kluson vintage repro with an Eternal VT90 single-coil pickups wired through a twin volume and master tone layout using CTS brass collar pots, and a Switchcraft 3-way toggle to a Switchcraft output jack. The aged finish is all nitro aged Pelham Blue with black plastics throughout.
