El Camino

The El Camino brings together the vibe and feel of two classic favourites known for being workhorse guitars and loved for their no-nonsense attitude. The El Camino retains the bare-bones feel of a single pickup guitar, but features high quality hardware including a handwound Jason Lollar '52 T-series pickup. The classic Esquire wiring configuration gives you a range of sounds via a 3 way selector switch.

position 1: no tone control with a deeper bass feel
position 2: no tone control, just wide open pickup!
position 3: standard tone control

Full description and available options | Korina model | Custom Rosedwood model
