The first and only NQ we've made with block inlays — and the first time we've finished an NQ in semi-gloss.

The flame roasted maple 25.5" scale neck features full vintage-style block inlays, giving this NQ a completely different look to our usual builds. The semi-gloss, grain-filled finish is also a first for us. We normally go for satin, but this has a beautifully worn-in vintage gloss feel that really suits the guitar.

Two humbuckers, a kill switch and a straight-to-jack switch for the bridge pickup give it plenty of tonal options. It's lightweight, plays great and, with these two firsts, there's only going to be one like it.
