AES1500B boasts some of the
finest woods available
The AES1500 and AES1500B are 6-string royalty, ranking among the most
expensive and collectible of electric guitars. They are also uncommonly
multi-faceted; the instruments that inspired our AES series were
originally designed for discriminating jazz players, but they wound up
fuelling early rock and roll.
Extraordinary Archtop
Reviewers have repeatedly singled out our AES1500 as an extraordinary
archtop bargain. The combination of mellow sycamore top, bright-sounding
maple back and sides and multi-dimensional DiMarzio® Q100 pickups
captures the depth and complexity we associate with vintage models. At
the same time, our two-way tone controls let you split either or both
pickups to get many bright, punchy tones the originals can't match.
AES1500B
Our AES1500B adds a retro-approved Bigsby B-6 tremolo for the sort of
smooth, bouncy vibrato unattainable from any other term.
