Model 216B ~ Sister Etta~Heirloom Black

Description

We have fine-tuned our Beloved Sister Etta to better represent those early archtops played by legendary guitar players from the Mississippi Delta. What made them outstanding is often they were produced by leading manufacturers but rebranded with humbler names on their headstock and sold at much lower prices. Sold in the 1920-1930 as mid-range guitars, they stood up acoustically to L-50’s of the period. We have transformed our Sister Etta with some authentic characteristics while upgrading to the modern requirements of professional and novice players alike.

The first thing you’ll notice right away is the 40mm wide neck. Perfect for single note and cord playing. Love playing slide, bring it on! From the inside out The Sister Etta is a natural performer on stage or simply playing with your buddies. Inside the binding free F hole your Sister Etta is blacked out to accent the beautiful F hole Curves. Each of the three vintage colors is hand stained and daubed to give the appearance of a finely aged and protected heirloom guitar. The Solid Sitka Spruce top isn’t hidden behind layers of thick paint, instead, the colour is hand applied to the surface and daubed away exposing more of the beautiful wood grain. Our Heirloom process creates the look of a warmly loved instrument that’s been cared for and handed through the generations. The warm Satin lacquer finish is hand applied and buffed rather than drenched in polyurethane plastics, just like timeless premium guitars of the day.

Your Sister Etta looks timeless right out of its personal Hardshell Embroidered Locking case.
