The Johnny Winter Lazer

As Johnny Winter himself said, the Lazer is the "closest thing I've found to sounding like a Strat and feeling like a Gibson." Winter often played Lazers and arguably made this guitar as well known as it is. This guitar is lively and resonant, despite its small size. The sound of the bass strings is punchy and tight, almost like a 6-string baritone guitar.
