Designed to be a Firebird dressed up in more comfortable Telecaster clothing, the Phoenix is a powerhouse of player-centric design. It's sleek and ergonomic - yet - retains a lot of what we all love about older guitars. The term "modern vintage" gets tossed around a lot but that's a really apt way to think about this model.
This is a new model from Gene and the crew at b3 Guitars, which essentially takes their Tele/Firebird-inspired Phoenix model and applies that concept to an offset body shape, giving us the Monroe. Like its sibling, the Monroe features neck through construction, a 25 1/2" scale, a raised center section body, and a variety of pickup and bridge options.
The SL, with its Strat-meets-Les Paul body, is incredibly comfortable to play. Better balance than a Les Paul, a tummy cut, effortless upper fret access...all while sounding and looking very much like an old Gibson.
Gene Baker has tossed his hat into the Tele-Paul ring with this fantastic Set Neck Phoenix model.
Imagine someone at Fender unearthing a long-lost prototype that Leo Fender was working on in the years after the launch of the Telecaster on his way to designing the Stratocaster. That, in a nutshell, is the concept the Telstar conjures up for us.
