Although they share a similar body shape, the Deluxe is a distinct departure from the Vintage ’63.
The Deluxe is a thoroughly exclusive instrument with a one-piece European maple neck, gold-plated hardware, and diamond-shaped mother-of-pearl headstock inlays. A dark, full-body binding that contrasts with the lighter woods surrounding it is one of the details that sets the Deluxe apart.

Responsive and light in weight, the Deluxe is truly a pleasure to play.

Deluxe version of the 500/1:

Ebony fingerboard,
gold-plated hardware,
intricate inlay work,
natural finish.
Aluminium bullet case included.

New in 2008: Fretless model (F) with discreet side markers.
