Experience the pinnacle of boutique guitar craftsmanship with the B3 Blacktop SL-SD in Trans Charcoal. Handcrafted by renowned luthier Gene Baker, this instrument seamlessly blends vintage aesthetics with modern playability, offering a unique tonal palette and exceptional comfort.
The black limba body is adorned with maple binding, finished in a stunning Trans Charcoal that highlights the wood's natural beauty. The black limba neck, carved in a Standard C profile (.830"–.960"), ensures a comfortable grip, while the ebony fretboard with 22 frets and a 12" radius provides smooth playability across all positions.
Equipped with B3 PAF-style humbuckers featuring black covers, the SL-SD delivers a versatile tonal range—from warm, articulate cleans to rich, dynamic overdrives. The Mann wrap-around bridge and Grover Roto tuners ensure precise tuning stability, while ebony appointments add to the guitar's elegant appearance.
