This is a handmade boutique solid body electric guitar, made by Daniel Becker of Becker Guitars in Attleboro, MA. I think this was called the Retro Series. See the link below. It has a Ziricote fretboard, headstock overlay, and trim appointments. It has a maple neck, Gotoh tuners, custom humbucker pickups, and special circuitry to play as single coils, humbuckers or any combination there of.
I used Dan as a luthier to repair and modify my acoustic guitars. I play only acoustic and bought this from Dan because of the beauty of the woods!! I might have played it for an hour since I bought it. This guitar needs a new home, and needs to be played.
It is truely in mint condition...like a brand new guitar. It comes in a brand new Mono gig bag.
Please contact me with questions.
Becker Guitars began in 1995 as a repair shop in the basement of founder Dan Becker. After its first years of operation, Becker Guitars moved to a new shop in Stoughton, Massachusetts. While the company grew into a full service guitar repair and restoration center, Becker began venturing into guitar making.
In the spring of 2006 Dan Becker, brought on Maine guitar luthier Ryan Martin and began to focus on designing and producing custom instruments. Becker soon moved from its smaller shop in Stoughton, Massachusetts to a larger space in Attleboro, Massachusetts in order to accommodate a growing production line.
In 2007 Becker unveiled their first prototype, an Imperial model, to the public at the first annual Premier Guitar Festival. 2008 saw the release of Becker Guitars' flagship production line, The Retro Series. First introduced in 2008, The Retro Series is our flagship guitar line.
This model features a body which is contoured to maximise comfort and ease playability. The neck is maple with a ziricote fretboard, 16 inch radius, 22 stainless steel fret. Gotoh machine heads.
An interesting feature is an additional “zero” fret (see photo) to allow closer control of string tension and also allows for much lower action. The action on this model is very low, making it an incredibly fast neck indeed. The neck is topped off with a bone nut.
The Pickups are incredible - Lindy Fralin Hot Humbuckers, each of which is coil tapped (separate switch controlling each), to make a huge range of tones available. Pickups are selected via a three-way toggle switch (Neck, Neck/Bridge combined and Bridge). There is also a “kill-switch”, so cancel all output when required.
All-in-all, this is a top specification guitar, hand-crafted using the best materials available, extremely flexible with great playability.
