AT A GLANCE
1 HEADSTOCK
The ’57 features a coke bottle headstock, so named because of its shape. Other headstocks across the range include the dolphin nose and the thermometer.
2 CONTROLS
The stacked controls work really nicely. The lower, larger round regulates the volume, leaving the smaller upper pot for the tone-shaping.
3 TOP
The perfectly named Limo black finish is flawless. How much more black could it be? The answer is none. None more black...
