Michael Kelly`s 1950s and 1960s series were inspired by Fender`s legendary Telecaster and Strat, respectively. Both series feature several main models and an ever-changing roster of Custom Collection and Mod Shop models of limited availability. Mod Shop 1965 Bare Knuckle is one of the currently active 1960s Mod Shop axes. Available color options are Hint Black, Aged Cherryburst, and Amber. All are finished in gloss and equipped with chrome hardware. Core construction features include a solid swamp ash body (natural-colored back and sides), quilt maple top (two-piece construction), maple neck (Modern C profile) and rosewood fingerboard (22 medium jumbo frets, dot inlays, 1.69" bone nut, 25-1/2" scale). Major hardware and electronics appointments include a string-through tremolo bridge, locking Grover tuners, and Bare Knuckle pickups (w/Epic Eleven mod).
