Because cool is ageless.
S71 GUITARS AT UNBEATABLE PRICES.
S71 Custom has long been known as builders of some of the most sought after electric guitars in the world. S71 Custom is world-renown for their painstaking re-creations of prized vintage instruments. Their guitars are every bit as good as an original because they virtually are an original. From their Custom Shop in Basel, Switzerland, S71’s skilled Luthiers hand-build these collector-quality instruments using top-of-the-line construction and finishing techniques, often the exact same as the highly collectible vintage instruments that inspired them. The Custom Shop is also responsible for all of S71’s artist signature models, working closely with the artists to nail every aspect of the instrument.
BUILT IN THE CUSTOM SHOP
Hand-assembled in Basel, Switzerland
There is nothing mass-produced about a S71 Custom guitar.
From the thick maple tops and rich mahogany bodies to the rosewood and ebony fretboards, each S71 Custom electric guitar is made of only top-quality tonewoods.
To maintain authenticity, reissue-style S71 Custom guitars feature special hardware that performs to today’s standards with the genuine look and feel of a broken-in, vintage instrument.
S71 has long championed the use of nitrocellulose for their finishes. Whether a 3-dimensional burst or a worn vintage finish, the nitro brings out the guitar’s visual and tonal beauty.
S71 RELIC CUSTOM SHOP:
Turning musical dreams into realities. Finely crafted guitars and basses created by artists, for the artist.
Unless you’re a die-hard proponent of only playing brand-new instruments with cutting-edge technology (much of which was designed to replicate the sound of a vintage instrument!), S71 Custom Shop most likely offers a level of relic’ing that will be perfect for your taste. The love of vintage guitars and basses isn’t going away anytime soon. And why should it? Those instruments carry a tradition, feel, and sound that tell a story every time they’re played. S71’s relic’d instruments offer so much of that story right from the factory. The only part of the story that’s missing is yours.
