Featuring deep-scooped cut-aways, a relieved neck heel and a trim waist The Pilot was designed through many hours of speaking with players about what they wanted in a pro level guitar. The final design is the result of working with John Burrell, a local New Jersey axe slinger, and was named The Pilot after his love of flying and the freedom it brings. Bringing classic lines together with ultimate playability the Pilot is made for the stage and recording. Comfortable and beautiful, you can take the stage and play your music without fighting bulk or excess weight!
