About this particular guitar

This guitar came to Butler Music directly from the folks at Michael Kelly. It was a sample instrument that spent several months in their warehouse before being sold to us as B-stock.

Our technician went over it from top to bottom. It is in like-new overall condition apart from a couple of small pick/pickguard scratches on the top and a few minor scratches from handling. These cosmetic imperfections make this an appealing opportunity to get a versatile, distinctive guitar at a B-stock price.

The listing photos show the actual guitar you will receive.

 It weighs in at 7 lbs 7.93 oz.

Patriot Decree

Guitar Player Magazines Editor's Pick for Under $500! The Patriot Decree has been an award winner for years. We have packed it with great features all to make it fun to play, great sounding and guitar-lust-worthy. The Decree is a feature packed single cutaway for sure. The deeply carved top is figured maple on a mahogany body with a mahogany neck. The construction is set neck for that vintage tone and sustain you are seeking. The pickups are voiced specifically for this model, they are over-wound PAF-inspired. Try to pick a color from the many great options and get your Decree.

The Great 8 electronics mod is one of our most demanded mods. With this mod we double the sonic spectrum of our two-humbucker instruments. You still have the full powered tone of each humbucker and the traditional settings to give you neck, bridge or both. With Great 8 we add two push-pull switches to the volume and tone knobs, that when pulled up one coil of the humbucker is disengaged giving you a cleaner single coil tone. You can control each pickup separately, maximizing your options. What can you do with 8 sonic options?
