The Painted Lady
The Quintessential Nostalgic Garage Rock Guitar
The Painted Lady guitar is Philip Smith’s latest creation, and Goldfinch’s new bread and butter guitar. Designed to be the ultimate garage rock guitar, the Painted Lady takes inspiration from the simplicity and style of 60s Japanese import department store guitars. The Painted Lady is designed to be lightweight, simple, retro, and affordable. For those looking to upgrade their sound, it’s also customizable, with the upcoming German silver wire Goldfinch pickups.
Features:
- Linden wood body - lightweight and well balanced
- One piece maple neck - for the best sound and the best density/stiffness ratio
- Rosewood fretboard - for a smooth string sound and a classic look
- 24.75” scale length - the bridge is set far back to make the guitar compact and good for travel
- One factory stock single coil pickup - for a clear bright sound and a vintage simplicity
- Unique bridge design - a tribute to 60s Japanese imports, this bridge has fewer moving parts, a striking design, and a particular sound - almost sitar-like
- Reverse headstock - also a tribute to our favorite guitar from the 60s, this helps the guitar stand out visually, while slightly tightening the low string and allowing easier bending on the high strings
