Elk Cutlass 1960s - Lake Placid Blue

A rare gem from the golden age of Japanese offset oddities, this 1960s Elk Cutlass in Lake Placid Blue is a vibey, vintage treasure with undeniable surf and garage rock appeal. With its Mosrite-inspired body shape, razor-thin neck profile, and rowdy single-coil pickups, this guitar delivers everything from jangly cleans to raw, buzzy overdrive, making it a perfect companion for anyone chasing that retro, lo-fi sound. The tremolo system offers all the warble and shimmer you could ask for, while the lightweight body makes for an effortless playing experience. If you’re a fan of Teisco, Guyatone, or early Fujigen builds, this Elk Cutlass is a must-have piece of vintage Japanese guitar history.

Finished in a rich Lake Placid Blue that has aged beautifully, this guitar has all the patina and vintage charm you'd hope for in a '60s survivor. The chrome hardware has developed a gorgeous, naturally worn-in look, and the quirky control layout makes it a total blast to play. While these guitars were built for affordability back in the day, they now stand as rare, collectible examples of Japan’s early electric guitar scene, offering tons of character and unique tones. If you're looking for a cool, offbeat vintage guitar with serious mojo, this Elk Cutlass is ready to rip.
