Materials: Arched flamed maple top; tiger flame maple back and sides; solid mahogany neck with adjustable truss rod; solid ebony fingerboard; 5-ply bound body; triple bound headstock; bound fingerboard
Hardware: Gold Sadowsky/DeMarzio humbucking pickup: solid ebony pickguard with string ground, compensated bridge and tailpiece; gold Schaller tuners with ebony buttons.
Notes: Crafted to the precise specifications of its illustrious namesake, the Jimmy Bruno Model is constructed of highly flamed 5-ply arched maple, specifically crafted to optimize amplified tone while suppressing feedback. The 14 3/4" body is a delight to hold, and a breeze to tote to the gig. The Bruno's neck profile is particularly inviting, and the radius of the solid ebony board combined with the immaculately dressed fretwork make for an exceptionally nimble playing experience. A thoughtful touch is the placement of the jack, which is located near the tailpiece, well away from the player's knee.
This guitar is finished in the warm caramel sunburst, and shows particularly fine bookmatched fiddleback flame maple throughout. Immaculately maintained, this example is in superb 100% original condition. With this combination of features, workmanship and appearance, small wonder that Sadowsky can't keep up with demand for this red hot model.
Setup: This instrument is strung with medium gauge (.012-054) flatwound nickel strings. The guitar will accommodate lighter or heavier gauge strings, according to preference. String action is set at 5/64" to 6/64" at the 12th fret, with moderate relief for acoustic playing with medium strings. The action may be lowered or raised to your requirements with the adjustable bridge.
Case: Mooradian custom padded gig bag.
