Like the Büldog, the Chupacabron is inspired by the Gibson Johnny A. This is possibly the most versatile instrument we make. If you grab an amp with decent headroom and roll off the tone, the result is a lush, wooden and airy sound rivaling the best archtops of yore. With an amp that breaks up nicely, suddenly you find yourself at the wheel of a finely-tuned nasty blues machine.
The robust center block ensures that even the most gain-happy of pedal lovers can push this thing with impunity: no deafening hollow-body howl, and the kind of singing, endless sustain that would surprise you even in a solid-body guitar.
“This is a freaking awesome guitar dude!!!! I’m using it on a bunch of songs already.” — Tim Mitchell, Grammy winning guitarist, producer & songwriter.
