Folks, each year Matt Artinger raises the bar for himself with one instrument whose purpose is to serve as a document for his current level of achievement in the electric Hollowbody genre. This series of guitars has become known as the "Blondie" series, as they are all built with stunning Blonde European Spruce tops. Today we present to you Blondie #4, whose tone is simply magnificent with possibly the finest chording tone we've ever pulled from a guitar, and she's no slouch on the single notes either, with a big warm round tone present all the way to the tip of the fretboard. The design elements are breathtaking. From the hidden controls in the pickguard to traditional bound F-holes, this guitar has an understated elegance that will melt you on first sight. This will be a tough one to say goodbye to...
