JBG Supertone SD

  • October 23, 2011

JBG Supertone SD

[separator_dots]

[bquote]Introducing the Supertone: a hand-crafted modern instrument offering a player-friendly balance of form and function. With its unique body contours and matching headstock, the design pays homage to vintage instruments while incorporating exotic curves and JBG’s distinctive design features.[/bquote]

The sculpted neck heel is thinner than a conventional bolt-on, for more comfortable access to the upper frets. The patented Sliplock Neck Joint™ design is comprised of a unique, interlocking mortise and tenon joint that calls for the neck to be press-fit, as well as bolted to the body, thus preventing any shifting of the neck. This uncompromised union between the neck and body delivers enhanced, singing sustain. With a body that is shaved to 1-5/8 inches thick, shaped arm & belly contours, and an average weight of approximately 7 pounds, the Supertone is balanced and comfortable to play either standing on stage or sitting in the studio.

The Supertone comes in three speeds:

A standard model featuring an Alder body and Rock Maple neck with Indian Rosewood fingerboard; the Supertone SD featuring an Alder body with Maple top; or the Supertone XT featuring a Limba body, neck and other exotic hardwood options.

    [testimonials2 by=”Joe Bochar”] “I’m an old muscle car guy, and my plan was to do vin-style, engine displacement, and “special edition” suffix numbering… Anyway it just got too complicated, so “Supertone” it is!”
