Bigsby Model Offered 
Let the big boys stop building arch top guitars, we will always love and build this classic style that helped develop the sound of early electric blues, country and rock. 

The classic Cadillac DeVille is also are semi holly body arch top.  This style was originally known as a Jazz guitar, but rapidly found its way as a hallowed blues & rock guitar. Our classic features two real not painted F holes (excellent resonance) and a single cutaway. Gold hardware, gold pickup covers, gold Grover tuners and stunning black to cherry red see through flamed maple finish. Both top and backed arched body.


With our custom Bootlegger 3x3 head and our whiskey diamond fret inlays and logo the guitar fits perfectly in any smoke filled Jazz club, blues joint or rocking roadhouse.


Our body is slimmer then most Jazz styles at 1 1/2 inches thick compared to a Gibson 335 that is 1 3/4 inch thick. Our body size is closer to a Les Paul. We wanted a more comfortable, lighter version of this classic semi hollow body style. Both arched back and top for acoustic tone. Ships with its custom wood vintage style hard case. 


Our Bootlegger head design is as much function as it is form. As a race car builder, driver I understand that any angle or bend can be a point of weakness under stress. We run brake lines and fuel lines with as little bending as possible. The same works with guitar strings the straighter from the tuning post to the nut means less stress on strings and strings hold tuning and resonate better.
Our Bootlegger neck is best compared to a PRS JM shape, Fender modern C shape or a Gibson Slim Taper D shape for feel and playability. It is by far the most easy and recognizable shape for guitar players across the board. It delivers that vintage feel with a modern twist to keep it relevant and functional for guitar players playing any genre of music. 

We build with graphite nuts, along with our head and neck design this is best possible pro setup for your guitar.

REVERB REVIEW I am so happy with this guitar! I scoped it out for a good six months before finally making the purchase. Every part of the transaction was smooth - I even received direct emails from real people. I know; what a concept! There is not enough space here to go into specifics about the guitar, but I will say that, for the money, I've never found a better instrument. I'm already using it for recording and have gotten nothing but compliments on the looks. Thanks for the great instrument and service!June 10, 2020 by Keith Varney
