Fazley Vintage Series FLP318 Black Electric Guitar

General

A classic, LP-style single-cut electric guitar will usually cost you an eye-watering stack of cash, but here, Fazley drop a faithful ode to a legend for a considerate, entry-level price. Coated in an iconic black lacquer, the Fazley FLP318 electric guitar boasts the sonic warmth of a solid mahogany body and the classic comfort of an arched, flamed maple top that offers a comfortable resting place for the forearm, easing the strain on your wrist. Mounted with throwback details like chrome-plated hardware and vintage-cream detailing, this model comes with an authentic, mouth-watering look.

The Fazley Vintage Series FLP318: Refined Playability

Other smart and authentic features include the balanced foundation sound of the basswood body and the set-in neck construction. This doesn't just guarantee optimum vibrational transfer along the entire length of the body and neck, but enhances the sustain, and combines with a deep cutaway to grant comfortable access to the highest of the twenty-two frets. Sticking to the LP blueprint, the Fazley FLP318 has a slightly shorter scale length of 24.75-inches. This tried-and-tested nut-to-bridge distancing reduces the string tension a touch, making tricks like note bends and tapping feel lighter and easier, and backing up the immense popularity of the LP-style model. Meanwhile, the TOM-style bridge and stopbar support smooth tuning and stability.

A Rich Foundation

While built for the student guitarist, this Fazley model doesn't hold back and comes loaded with a pair of thick and fierce humbuckers. These pickups immediately deliver full and warm amplified tone, clean of the hum and noise associated with smaller single-coil pickups and, since both humbuckers have been coupled with independent tone and volume controls, you're given full access to a broad range of possible guitar sounds, setting you up with a solid and flexible foundation, whether you're into pop, blues, rock, indie or even metal.
