Fazley FJA518SB electric guitar Sunburst

General

For everyone who's always wanted an offset guitar but has been deterred by the price, there is now a much more affordable option by Fazley, a brand well-known to provide great value for money. At the core of this FJA518SB lies a basswood body and a hard maple neck with a brown blackwood fretboard. On the body, you'll find P90-style single-coil pickups and a 5-way pickup switch, as well as three on/off switches. It's also worth noting that, unlike many offset guitar models, this is not a short-scale guitar, instead providing a traditional 25.5-inch scale.

Construction and finish

With its sunburst finish, this guitar has a beautiful vintage look, which is further reinforced by the P90-style single-coil pickups. Even the tremolo brings to mind the heyday of the J-model guitars. A maple neck is attached to the body with four bolts through the neckplate, and it's fitted with a brown blackwood fretboard that adds warmth and balance to the core sound. Finally, the guitar is finished with a 3-ply red pearloid pickguard and Fazley machine heads that help keep the instrument in tune.
