Roger Giffin Standard Custom - Tiger Eye / Amalfitano

Roger Giffin Standard Custom Upgrade Plus Top - Tiger Eye

Stellar sounding rare Amalfitano Fullbucker pickups, split for single-coil goodness as well as full-on vintage humbucker tones. The neck is a dream '59 vintage soft V to C in the upper registers. All there is to say is that there is a reason that Roger has made so many professionals happy! If you've ever spent a gig or more with a 10-lb paul on your shoulder, you will appreciate this beauty that weighs in a 7lbs 4.2oz. NO weight relief here, just carefully selected woods from a Master Builder. Your current/future bursitis will thank you! Speaking of Master Builder, Roger still makes each one of his creations by hand, by himself. In light of that, how incredible are these prices? How much do you have to pay the big boys to have a one-master-builder instrument made for you? Beautiful new condition. We are an authorized Giffin Dealer.
