Frank Brothers Radar Faded Blue Mist

If you're after a short-scale electric that nails the balance between vibe, versatility, and playability, this one's worth your full attention.

If you're into SGs, this Frank Brother's Radar might be your ideal match - and in this Faded Blue Mist finish with a Vibrola trem? It’s got style and substance to spare (the aging on this one is phenomenal).

With a 24.75" scale, mahogany body and neck, and a pair of Frank Brothers V.O. humbuckers, this Radar leans into Gibson-style feel and punch, while still delivering the balance and playability the Franks are known for. The SG-inspired horns and slim body make it incredibly comfortable, whether you're seated, standing, or stretching through a long set.

The pickups are wonderfully voiced—articulate and full, with the bridge delivering tight low-end and midrange bite, and the neck bringing warmth and roundness without getting muddy. There’s clarity and cut when you want it, and richness when you lean in. The pairing with the Vibrola tremolo just adds to the fun. It’s smooth, expressive, and surprisingly stable. It looks incredible, right? The control layout is intuitive: two volume controls, two tones, and 3-way switch give you more tonal shaping than you'd expect, without ever feeling fussy. It’s the kind of setup that invites volume and tone knobs tweaks - and rewards it.

The Radar feels alive in your hands. Responsive. Effortless. Inspiring. It doesn’t chase vintage, per se - it builds on it, and brings something unmistakably Frank Brothers into the conversation.
