This Emperor has been aged in all the right places.
The Surf Green has been tinted with light amber coats to give it that 50-years in the sun look.
The ‘bashing’ process is accurate to actual use of a guitar with chips, dents and wear throughs in just the right places.
All the hardware is aged too, matching and not too extreme on the rust!
The quality of the timbers is second to none, the best roasted materials and premium fingerboard and bodies too.
The pickups from Radioshop are completey vintage accurate, giving all the classic tones that we are used to.
The PLEK process offers superb fret and nut work.
