Vanzandt Bronson Sonic Blue #9881

Vanzandt Guitars are produced with high-level craftsmanship that fully realizes the potential of handmade pickups. These high-quality guitars attempt to recreate vintage sound through careful assembly by Japanese workshops, and are beloved by players worldwide.

This time we have in stock the Sonic Blue colored "Bronson". The weight is 3.23kg.

It is characterized by a look inspired by Fender's Music Master, and is a popular model featuring a compact body, short scale, and charming color.

The alder body uses "Nitrocellulose Lacquer," the same finishing agent as original guitars from 1954-67, applied from the primer coat. Compared to the currently popular polyester, the coating thickness is finished at approximately 1/3 or less, allowing the "wood tone" of the body and neck to resonate directly, creating a texture like a vintage guitar.

Features a maple neck and rosewood fingerboard with 22 frets. The neck uses solid maple material on all models, and through our proprietary method of truss rod installation, realizes an extremely stable and robust neck. It produces pleasant sustain and rich overtones.
The neck shape features an ideal, comfortable grip that is neither too thick nor too thin. The fingerboard radius is approximately midway between 7.25 and 9.5, allowing stress-free playing at any position.

Equipped with the original "FLAT-POLE" pickups. The tone aims for a fusion of modern and vintage, modified to be easily handled in contemporary times while remaining close to the authentic Music Master sound. In addition to the user-friendly front pickup, the center position mix employs series wiring to achieve a punchy, thick sound.

Vanzandt guitars have their own unique setup methods for necks, bodies, and hardware, so you can feel the quality of sound that comes from careful craftsmanship by skilled luthiers. The neck grip is also surprisingly thick and solid. With its excellent size and color, this is one of the finest guitars that achieves both practicality and charm—the kind of guitar you'll want to reach for, with one always at home.
