If you're in the market for a high-performance, modern leaning guitar that's still got vintage vibe, feel, tone, and attitude? Look no further, this is it!

Given his experience as a Senior Master Builder at the Fender Custom Shop + his time at Gibson's Custom Shop, b3's Gene Baker has a tremendously deep well to draw from with his designs, and this Phoenix V model is the perfect encapsulation of his experience and knowledge.

Designed to be a Firebird dressed up in more comfortable Telecaster clothing, the Phoenix V is a powerhouse of player-centric design. Featuring a Standard C (.83"-.96") neck carve, a fast neck-through heel, gorgeous sounding Lollar pickups (Special T and Firebird), a really versatile wiring scheme (volume, tone - push/pull, 5-way), rock solid hardware and beautiful finish work, the Phoenix effortlessly melds modern playability with a wide range of tones making it perfect for a lot of different contexts.

Don't be fooled into thinking the Phoenix is "just" a Tele though - it's got its own (familiar) feel and truly melds all the best parts of each guitar (Firebird/Tele) into something new, very inspiring, and just plain cool.

Condition: Excellent, very little signs of prior ownership.
