M.B.Guitars '63 Double Cut Sonic Blue

The MB Guitars 62 Double Cut is a thoughtful reinterpretation of an early ‘60s double-cut classic, blending vintage-inspired feel and tone with the refined craftsmanship Mike Bowes has become known for. Built with an alder body and finished in a timeless Sunburst, this example carries the kind of understated elegance that suits the instrument perfectly. At 7lbs 9oz it has a reassuring balance in hand while still feeling lively and resonant acoustically.

The medium C neck carve measures .860" and is paired with 6125 frets and a 9.5" radius, offering a comfortable broken-in feel that leans vintage without sacrificing modern playability. The Alan Dingwall ’62 pickup set delivers the articulate, woody response you’d hope for from a great early ‘60s inspired guitar, with clear highs, focused mids, and a dynamic low end that stays musical under gain or clean settings alike.

As with all MB builds, the attention to detail is evident throughout, from the finish work and neck shaping to the overall responsiveness of the instrument. A beautifully executed custom build that captures the spirit of a well-loved vintage original while remaining dependable and inspiring in a modern setting.
