Limited to just 300 aged examples worldwide , this model captures every nuance of the famed "Okuda Burst", from its distinctive top carve to its unique neck profile and vintage-correct ageing.

Why This Guitar Matters
Unlike many Collector's Choice models that faithfully copy a vintage Burst, the Tamio Okuda #29 stands apart thanks to its notably fuller neck carve, unique orange-faded "Okuda Burst" finish and the use of matched '57 Classic pickups specified by Okuda himself. It delivers a powerful midrange voice with exceptional articulation and vintage PAF character.
