Gene Baker Metal Model - XS

DESCRIPTION:

Metal - A metal model is based off the thought of the flowing structure of metal - fluid in form, one piece in design. This gave rise to Gene Baker's "Neck Thru the Body" line of instruments.

The b3 XS "METAL" MODEL is a true hybrid encompassing the very best features, woods, and electronics from two of the giants that have come to define the electric guitar, at least until now. Gene starts with an "S" type body made of the finest grade Korina and then adds to that a Korina set neck-thru topped with an aged Brazilian fretboard melting into the body via a heel carve that is smooth as can be giving the player access to all the upper register real estate. The electronics, again, with 2 Humbuckers and a middle position single coil, give the player the best of two worlds. The hardware package includes a vintage style Wilkinson tremolo as well as locking Sperzel tuners.
