Furlan T-Style Sparkle Purple Sound Ed Special

Built by Chicago’s own Furlan Guitars in the style of an early 60’s Telecaster, this instrument takes the first mass-produced solid body electric guitar design and drags it kicking and screaming into the modern age. From the carving of the wood to the finish and everything in between, this guitar was handcrafted by John Furlan per the specifications of the players at A Sound Education (that’s us!) The body is made from premium poplar that’s been beautifully finished in metallic purple and is slightly thinner than your typical Tele. The Pao Rosa rosewood fretboard plays fast and feels comfortable on the eastern hard maple neck. A modern contoured neck heel provides easy upper-fret access for all your blistering solos. The Fender Texas Special pickups rip with the Tele twang you’d expect from the best vintage examples. Guyker locking tuners improve tuning stability while the six saddle bridge is sure to make intonation intuative and simple. You’ve tried the rest, now’s the time to check out the Rock ‘n’ Roll brainchild of Furlan Guitars and A Sound Education! Weighs 7 lb 9 oz.
