A collaboration
between BA Ferguson and Nick Greer
(Greer Amps), this guitar aims to scratch that rock-n-roll itch without the
"blues lawyer" price tag. Officially released at Winter NAMM
2019. Made in small batches, we've engineered the mess out of the build
process to bring you something that is affordable, has a vintage vibe, and is
still entirely handcrafted and American made entirely by us.
"The Flyweight is a
thin body, lightweight rock and roll machine that you will enjoy playing for
hours on end. Featuring a retro yet modern shape familiar to those already
aware of BA Ferguson’s other guitars, the Flyweight is an instant classic. The
vintage vibe goes from the headstock, to the natural oil finished neck, to the
nitrocellulose lacquered body, to the selection of pickups that are available
on this model. Who doesn’t enjoy a goldfoil, (humucker), or a P90?! This guitar
feels like your favorite, most comfortable t-shirt right from the start. The
Flyweight is well balanced, has an intense amount of sustain and resonance, and
is built with top tier parts. If you’re looking for your next favorite guitar,
you have found it."
