The 44-60 combines the best of the old and new. A classic
design with state of the art engineering upgrades. It combines
such modern enhancements as our heavy duty string through
body bridge, precise 27:1 tuning machines and graphite neck
reinforcement to name a few. Our neck dimensions are just
like Joe’s 1961 model. It is beyond comfortable, some have
called it perfect!
