If you're after a short-scale, set-neck, twin humbucker guitar, put the Arcade One at the top of your list—it’s phenomenal.
The Frank Brothers Arcade One showcases their signature body silhouette with a nod to the late '50s Gibson Explorer—featuring a golden-hued Korina body and neck, aged off-white pickguard, aged gold hardware, and two Frank Brothers V.O. humbuckers. The result? A stunning, drool-worthy guitar that’s impossible to resist and feels like an old friend from the first note.
But the Arcade One is more than just a looker. Once plugged in, it delivers a massive sound—fat, round, with a great midrange bite and a clear top-end. If you're a fan of Gibson-style guitars, you'll feel right at home not only with the tones but also the super comfy Medium C (.86-.94") neck profile. A word of warning: you might even consider parting with a few of your Gibsons after experiencing this Arcade One.
For slide players, the Arcade One excels. Even plugged into a Carr Sportsman with a Zvex Box of Rock overdrive at low volume, it’s mind-blowing. We can only imagine how it’ll perform at rehearsal or gig levels—but we’ve got a few ideas. Read: amazing.
