The B&G Little Sister Crossroads Humbuckers Cutaway Midnight Ocean is a high-quality, vintage-inspired electric guitar that merges classic design with modern playability. This model is crafted by B&G Guitars, known for their meticulous attention to detail and traditional build methods, and is part of their Crossroads series—a more accessible version of their Private Build line.

Detailed Specifications:

• Body Type: Semi-Hollow, with a chambered body for added resonance and lightweight playability. This model features a single cutaway, which allows for easier access to the higher frets.
• Top Wood: Maple. The top is adorned with a stunning Midnight Ocean finish, a deep, shimmering blue hue that evokes a sense of depth and elegance. It’s highly polished for a glossy appearance.
• Back and Sides: Made from African Mahogany, providing warmth and a balanced tonal response. The mahogany adds to the guitar’s resonance and sustain.
• Neck: Constructed from Mahogany, with a Soft V profile that is comfortable for both chording and lead work. The neck is sturdy yet lightweight, contributing to the guitar's overall playability.
• Scale Length: 24 ¾" (629 mm), a shorter scale which offers a more vintage feel, with slightly reduced string tension, making bends easier and providing a warm tone.
• Fingerboard: The fingerboard is made from Indian Rosewood, featuring a smooth surface and medium-sized frets. It has a 12” radius, allowing for both comfortable chord playing and smooth soloing.
• Frets: 20 Medium Jumbo frets, hand-finished for smooth play across the neck.
• Pickups: Equipped with a pair of B&G-designed humbuckers, offering a warm, full-bodied sound. These pickups provide versatility, delivering both classic PAF-style tones and modern clarity. The humbuckers are voiced to produce a wide range of sounds, from clean, articulate tones to rich, overdriven textures.
• Bridge: B&G’s solid brass bridge. The bridge is designed to enhance sustain and tuning stability, while the brass material adds a slight brightness and clarity to the guitar’s tone.
• Tuners: Vintage-style Kluson tuners with an aged look. They offer smooth, accurate tuning and hold pitch very well.
• Controls: Two volume and two tone knobs, each with hand-wired, low-tolerance pots for precision control. There’s also a 3-way pickup selector switch, allowing you to toggle between the neck, bridge, or a combination of both pickups.
• Nut: Bone nut, meticulously cut to provide accurate intonation and reduce string friction.
• Finish: The guitar is finished in Midnight Ocean, a stunning blue color that appears to shift in tone depending on lighting conditions. The high-gloss finish not only looks luxurious but also protects the wood.
• Weight: Approximately 7 lbs (3.2 kg), making it relatively light for a semi-hollow guitar, easy to handle and comfortable for long playing sessions.
• Case: Comes with a high-quality gig bag, featuring reinforced protection and ample storage for accessories.
