For pricing information contact us at info@fox-guitars.com

The Red Fox - New Vintage Series flat-top acoustic model. Not meant to be an exact replica of a 1930s Gibson L-1, but certainly inspired by it in every single detail. Solid spruce top and solid Sapele mahogany back, sides & neck. VERY special hand-rubbed sunburst finish with "firestripe" pickguard. Back & sides finished in brown mahogany, and neck shaded dark at heel & peghead, for an authentic vintage look. Solid rosewood fingerboard and bridge. Bone nut & saddle. White bridge pins & end-pin. Ivoroid single bound top & back. Mother-of-pearl fingerboard dots. StewMac "Golden Age" 3-on-a-plate tuners with ivoroid buttons. Light X-braced top, and ladder-braced back, along with the 12-fret neck makes it an extremely light-weight, but powerful sounding guitar. Suitable for finger picking or plectrum.
