Andy™
The Andy is a ¾ scale archtop electric guitar that is perfect for either travel or serious youth guitarists. Not a toy, the guitar’s 23” neck scale features a solid carved spruce top and a solid carved maple back, with laminated maple sides. The guitar incorporates the same design features of its big brothers with an ebony fingerboard, fingerrest, tailpiece and bridge. A mini-humbucking pickup with volume and tone control is built into the top.
Includes Deluxe Padded Gig Bag | *options shown
