We ride at sundown...

The sundowner is a more refined take on a no-nonsense vintage 'student model' guitar that punches well above its' weight.

Strip it down to the bare essentials with one pickup and simplified controls, or get wacky and throw a vibrato, extra pickups and 5 switches on it. There are no rules!

Thin and lightweight, and packing vintage inspired aesthetics with improved modern playability, the Sundowner is primed to be your new musical best friend.
