Frank Brothers Arcade 2019 Copper Top / Natural McNelly Pickups

Here's a beautiful example of an Arcade model by the Frank Brothers Guitar C.O in Toronto Canada. We love these instruments. This 2019 example is extremely well built with great playability and a stunning esthetic. The guitar was recently setup by Izzy of Ronin and Fiam Guitars and it likely plays just as well or better than it ever has. Low action, polished frets. The whole shebang. From the retro color combination, to the handmade parts, such as back painted acrylic diamond pickup rings and pick guard to the feel of the U shaped satin finished Mahogany neck; this guitar screams quality.
The McNelly Mini-Humbuckers are impressive. They are full bodied, but with much more clarity than a full size PAF style Humbcuker. They have a nice shimmering single coil-like quality to them. This Arcade sounds wonderful played both clean or dirty.
We also love the way the Bigsby feels. It's very smooth and expressive with the ABR-1 bridge and the guitar stays in tune with ease. The original Frank Bro's branded G&G HSC included.
