Supertone S-59

Introducing the 3rd generation Supertone: a hand-crafted modern instrument offering a player-friendly balance of form and function.  With its unique body contours and matching headstock, the design pays homage to vintage instruments while incorporating exotic curves and JBG’s distinctive design features.

​

The sculpted neck heel is thinner than a conventional bolt-on, for more comfortable access to the upper frets.  The patented Sliplock Neck Joint™ design is comprised of a unique, interlocking mortise and tenon joint that calls for the neck to be press-fit, as well as bolted to the body, thus preventing any shifting of the neck.  This uncompromised union between the neck and body delivers enhanced, singing sustain.  With a body that is shaved to 1-5/8 inches thick, shaped contours, and an average weight of approximately 7.5 pounds, the Supertone is balanced and comfortable to play either standing on stage or sitting in the studio.
