SUMMER NAMM 2018: We’ve long been fans of Balaguer’s contemporary takes on traditional offset designs, but its new Espada outline takes the concept further.
Dubbed “the offset guitar evolved”, the Espada promises to pair vintage looks with modern, ergonomic design.
The body shape is slightly smaller than Balaguer’s JM-style Growler, and comes with a 25.5” scale length, 16” fingerboard radius, stainless steel frets and custom-voiced pickups.
All other specs are customisable at Balaguer’s new Online Guitar & Bass Configurators, where the Espada starts at $1,099.
“This golden gain machine covers the entire spectrum from gritty boost through to full-on fuzz”: Great Eastern FX’s Focus Fuzz Deluxe has got boost, drive, octave, fuzz... everything going on
“The mini humbucker fits into the same sized pickup cavity as a P-90 and delivers low-noise humbucking pickup performance and a slightly brighter and more open tone”: Gibson remixes the Les Paul Special with mini humbuckers
