Creek Guitars Time Machine Series CTF 1959 Aged Vintage Blonde with Case
CTF 1959 AGED
While following the specs of the original PAF pickups, it is equipped with a newly designed pickup that has been tuned to match the sound of the original. Plugged in, this guitar simply amazing.
Body
Following the Mickey Mouse horn shape of yesteryear, it has the center block of the 50's style, without the rear pickup cavity 1st string side release. You get a laminated maple body with torified material for bracing, and the result is a guitar that is extremely resonant. On the body you'll find a brass saddle ABR-1 type bridge, aluminum tail piece, long studs, long pickguard, top hat knob, etc., adopting discerning hardware reminiscent of those days.
Neck / Headstock
Reproducing the neck shape with a moderate thickness, but not too thick, that is reminiscent of the mid-1959, the CTF 1959 Aged is a joy to play. The smooth rolled edge finish and aging process provide a snug fit. Precious Jacaranda is used for the fingerboard, and it has been finished perfectly. It also features a unique soft tension and a clear rise due to the shallow neck angle that pursues a vintage sound. The headstock uses a single line/single ring machine head tuners.

They provide a natural sound that respects the tone of the guitar, reproducting the nuances of the player without leaving anything behind.
