Gene Baker / Fine Tuned Instruments B3 XS and XS 3x3

The B3 XS model is a true hybrid encompassing the very best features, woods, and electronics from two of the giants that have come to define the electric guitar, at least until now. Gene starts with an "S" type body made of the finest grade Korina and then adds to that a Korina set neck-thru topped with an aged Brazilian fretboard melting into the body via a heel carve that is smooth as can be giving the player access to all the upper register real estate. The electronics, again, with 2 Humbuckers and a middle position single coil, give the player the best of two worlds. The hardware package includes a vintage style Wilkinson tremolo as well as locking Sperzel tuners.

The XS "3 X 3" has a much heavier lean towards classic Strat tones as a result of it's alder body and maple neck combination. Built around the same super fast playing neck offering incredible upper fret access courtesy of the most comfortable heel carve in the business, the 3 X 3 boasts the same hardware and DiMarzio pickups as the original XS model. The difference is all in the wood itself, making the 3 X 3 the ultimate for those looking for a Strat style guitar with some added muscle. This is the Super Strat if there ever was one.
