Nachoguitars 2013 S-Style - Sunburst with Hard Shell Case

The Nachoguitars S-Style: A Masterpiece of Mid-50s Design

Authentic Vintage Craftsmanship

The Nachoguitars S-Style is a meticulously crafted tribute to the iconic solid-body electric guitars of the mid-1950s. Built with period-accurate details, this guitar captures the spirit of a golden era in electric guitar history. Featuring an ash body with a beautifully aged Sunburst nitro lacquer finish, complete with authentic weather checking, it exudes the charm of a well-loved vintage instrument. With a TG 10/54 body date, TG 11/54 neck date, and control cavity tape reading "Gloria 11/9/54," this guitar is steeped in mid-century authenticity.

Lightweight and Comfortable Design

Weighing just 7 pounds 4 ounces (3.28 kg), the Nachoguitars S-Style offers exceptional comfort for players of all styles. Its maple neck boasts a medium D profile with a 9.5” fretboard radius and medium 95/47 frets, providing smooth playability and effortless navigation of the fingerboard. The neck dimensions—0.85" depth at the 1st fret and 1" at the 12th fret—strike a perfect balance for a natural and comfortable grip, making it ideal for both rhythm and lead playing.

Dynamic Tonal Versatility

Equipped with vintage-style pickups, the S-Style delivers a wide range of classic tones. The neck pickup reads 5.92k ohms, the middle pickup 6k ohms, and the bridge pickup 6.26k ohms, providing a balanced output for everything from warm, bluesy tones to crisp, cutting leads. The 5-way selector switch and tone control in all positions allow for versatile sound shaping, giving you a full spectrum of tonal possibilities reminiscent of the original mid-50s designs.

Period-Correct Hardware and Aesthetic

The mid-50s tremolo-style bridge, with six individual steel saddles and a neck plate stamped with serial number 6701, adds to the guitar's vintage authenticity. Complemented by a white one-ply pickguard and meticulously aged components, this guitar is a visual and sonic masterpiece. The neck shows natural lacquer wear on the fingerboard and back, adding to its vintage appeal and player-friendly feel.

Protected by a Tweed Hard Shell Case

The Nachoguitars S-Style comes with a rectangular tweed mid-50s style hard shell case, ensuring safe transport and storage. While the case is not aged, its classic design perfectly complements the guitar’s vintage aesthetic.

This guitar is in excellent condition and has undergone a full professional inspection and setup from our in-house luthiers. The neck is nice and straight, fits comfortably in the hand and exhibits only very gentle fretwear. Cosmetically, beyond a very minor amount of superficial playwear the only "imperfections" are the proprietary aging, as can be seen in photos.  Original hard shell case, certificate of authenticity, build sheet, keychain, USB and original literature (all pictured) are included.
