A very distinct and sleek guitar, the “Gatto” utilizes our unique body shape inspired by the coolest mid century modern Italian guitar designers. Outfitted with Dual Hanson Classic Humbuckers, bound Mahogany body and set neck, the “Gatto” delivers powerful punch and versatility. It absolutely screams when pushing a tube amp into overdrive, with defined lead tone that really stands out. Activate the push/pull tone control switch for single coil operation and you’ve got amazing shimmer that works very well with swirly and echo effects like univibes, leslies, tape echoes, you get the picture.
The “Gatto” also features a 22 Fret Rosewood board, and Bigsby “Horse Shoe” top mounted vibrato tail piece, for subtle vibrato effects or frenzied lead shaking.
Available in Black Sparkle or White Pearl finishes that look cool whether you’re a Studio Cat, Glam Cat, Blues Cat, Rock Cat, Jazz Cat, or Country Cat. The “Gatto” roars with style.
