Gabriel Guitars Runabout - Midnight Purple

The Gabriel Guitars Runabout: Bold Design Meets Boutique Performance

Premium Tonewoods and Precision Craftsmanship

The Gabriel Guitars Runabout is built for players who demand both visual flair and sonic excellence. Crafted from alder, this body delivers a punchy midrange and balanced tonal profile, ideal for a variety of genres. The maple neck with a pau ferro fingerboard provides a smooth, responsive feel with natural compressions and warmth. With offset dot inlays and a 25.5-inch scale length, this neck is designed for modern playability across all 24 frets, each leveled and crowned to perfection using a Plek machine for optimal consistency and feel.

Sculpted for Comfort and Speed

Measuring .812 inches at the 1st fret and .873 inches at the 12th, the neck fills the palm of the hand nicely without ever feeling too big. A 12-inch radius supports smooth string bends and easy chording across the entire board. Frets measure .1035 inches in width and .0435 inches in height, tall enough for expressive phrasing, yet low enough for comfort. No matter your play style, the Runabout remains effortlessly playable.

Versatile Pickup Configuration with Unique Appointments

The BLS80 pickup set from Gabriel Guitars delivers everything from sparkling cleans to harmonically rich overdrive. A 5-way switch and mid-pickup blend knob give you total control over your tonal palette, while the master volume and tone keep things intuitive. Unique to this model are custom 3D-printed glow-in-the-dark pickup covers, knobs, and tremolo arm grip, an eye-catching and functional detail that sets the Runabout apart in any lighting situation.

Hardware That Keeps Up

Fitted with a Korean-made vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge and Fender 6-in-line locking tuners, this guitar is built for tuning stability and expressive performance. The unbleached bone nut ensures consistent tone transfer and longevity. Finished in deep Midnight Purple and sealed with gun stock oil, this instrument looks as good as it feels.

Built to Perform, Ready to Inspire

From the stage to the studio, the Runabout delivers unmatched tone, reliability, and style. Whether you’re chasing vintage shimmer or modern bite, this instrument adapts seamlessly to your playing needs. Every component, and control is chosen for the discerning player seeking something beyond the ordinary.
