2018 Asher Electro Sonic Master Series - Gold Top With Tortoise Guard, #1060

Product

Inspired by Asher's lap steel, the Electro Sonic guitar is designed for bottle-neck players and guitarists looking for fat tone and great sustain. The neck is hand carved with a smooth transition into the body for easy access to the upper frets. This instrument has perfectly detailed fret work and the final set up, which is performed by Bill Asher himself, insures the guitar's professional feel and brilliant performance.

The guitar is a firm favourite of Marc Ford of Black Crowes fame.  It's lighter than a Les Paul and has a little bit more in high end.  The Curtis Novak PAFs are outstanding - nice and airy but quite microphonic too.
