Blues rock guitar virtuoso, singer-songwriter and producer, Josh Smith, is hailed the world over as a master guitarist with raw talent and power to spare. Blending his signature mix of blues, rock and jazz into dynamic original songs, Smith is known for his incendiary live performances, whether at the Grammy Awards or the Kennedy Center Honors with Mick Jagger, Raphael Saadiq and others.

Josh's signature pickup set from Seymour Duncan® features a vintage voiced neck humbucker pickup with a mounting ring that adds to the visual aesthetic of the ‘hot-rod' nature of this guitar, paired with a bridge pickup that is constructed with a mix of different types of Alnico magnets to best match the tone that Josh has relied on for years, and is able to capture guitar sounds that are both bright and fat. This pairing of the distinctly different pickups offers a unique tonal option in the middle position.

The FLATV neck features a ’Soft V’ neck grip shape that blends the charm of a classic neck shape with a modern feel. This enables the neck to feel both substantial and comfortable to the player. The S-TECH Roasted Maple neck is constructed with 1 piece, and is the perfect combination of form and function. Rosewood fretboard provides a well-balanced solid tone with a focused mid range. Medium sized frets enhance the accuracy of your notes. Prestige Fret Edge Treatment guarantees effortlessly fast playing. The Alder body delivers a well-balanced bright tone, enriched resonance and sustain.

Gotoh® machine heads provide super precision, smooth feel, and minimal back lush. The Gotoh® F1803 bridge improves sustain and tuning stability. The Luminlay side dot position marks make it easy for players to see fretboard position marks when performing on dark stages. Hardshell case included
