General
After seeing the Fazley FRC618SB, you might be surprised to learn just how affordable it is. The mahogany body is home to two humbucker pickups and has a beautiful sunburst finish. It's clear to see that this model was inspired from a time when The Beatles and The Byrds were flying high in the charts. It has many of the same characteristics found on famous American semi-hollow models from those days but with a much more attractive price tag.
Construction
The FRC618SB has a maple neck with a brown blackwood fretboard to go with its mahogany body. The two Fazley humbuckers and extensive tone controls give you a broad range of classic sounds to work with. Thanks to the set-in neck and soundhole, the tone is rich and full. If you're feeling nostalgic or you just like the style of the sixties, then this Fazley FRC618SB will get you that little bit closer.
