Olive Drab HB-35Plus Tremolo
The HB-35Plus Tremolo is a semi-hollow electric guitar resembling the iconic Gibson ES-335. Its Olive Drab finish, a colorway highly sought after by guitarists for decades, gives it a vintage and sophisticated look.
B-Style Tremolo
This guitar features a semi-hollow maple body, a C-shape nato neck, and a 22-fret laurel fretboard with block inlays. The B-style tremolo will be perfect for shimmers and subtle vibrato.
Other notable features include a graphite nut, DLX Kluson-style tuners, a TOM-style bridge, and a pair of Roswell LAF humbuckers.
It joins the rest of the HB-35Plus semi-hollow models on offer.
HB-50 Semi-Hollow Basses
Joining the HB-35Plus Tremolo are two new semi-hollow basses, the HB-50. The classic Gibson EB-2 inspires these basses and offers a similar aesthetic and tone.
The HB-50 features a semi-hollow maple body, maple neck, amaranth fretboard, and an Artec MMC4 Vintage Alnico 5 humbucker.
