Deville Red Burst Hard With Hard Case
$649.00
DeVille Red Burst Jazz Style Body
The Cadillac DeVille red burst is also is semi holly body archtop. This style was originally known as a Jazz guitar but rapidly found its way as a hallowed blues & rock guitar.
Our classic features two real not-painted F-holes (excellent resonance) and a single cutaway. Gold hardware, gold pickup covers, gold Grover tuners, and stunning black to cherry red see-through flamed maple finish.
Double Arched Top And Back
With our custom Bootlegger, 3×3 head and our whiskey diamond fret inlays and logo, the guitar fits perfectly in any smoke-filled Jazz club, blues joint, or rocking roadhouse.
The body of Deville red burst is slimmer than most Jazz styles at 1 1/2 inches thick compared to a Gibson 335 that is 1 3/4 inch thick. Our body size is closer to a Les Paul. We wanted a more comfortable, lighter version of this classic semi-hollow body style. Both arched back and top for acoustic tone. Ships with its custom wood vintage style hard case.
Design
Bootlegger head design is as much function as it is formed. As a race car builder, driver I understand that any angle or bend can be a point of weakness under stress. We run brake lines and fuel lines with as little bending as possible. It works the same with guitar strings the straighter from the tuning post to the nut means less stress on strings and strings hold tuning and resonate better.
Quality
The neck of Deville red burst is best compared to a PRS JM shape, Fender modern C shape or a Gibson Slim Taper D shape for feel and playability. It is by far the easiest and most recognizable shape for guitar players across the board. It delivers that vintage feels with a modern twist to keep it relevant and functional for guitar players playing any genre of music.
All Bootlegger builds use graphite nuts, along with our head and neck design this is best possible pro setup for your guitar.
