FELINE GUITARS LION SUPREME '59 AMBER

  • Sale
  • Regular price £3,082.50


A lovely rich amber burst over slame/quilt with some MONTY's Retrowind pickups for the a harder hitting late 50s Les Paul tone.
Very similar to the Derrig /Slash inspired Lion we built a few years ago.
The particular colouring of the maple cap takes an amber stain so well
