The Caribou Butterscotch is a seriously cool semi-hollow. It's got that warm, woody tone you crave for jazz and blues, but with enough bite for rock and roll thanks to the humbucker. This is perfect for players who want a distinctive, high-quality instrument with a vintage vibe and modern playability.

Frequently Asked Questions

It's brighter and more articulate than a traditional Gibson humbucker, retaining more of the Duesenberg single-coil’s clarity while adding a nice thickness.
It's a Duesenberg trem, so it's well-engineered, but it’s not a floating trem; it’s more of a vintage-style, subtle pitch-bending system that might need occasional tweaking.
The chambering reduces weight and adds a degree of airiness to the tone, creating a more resonant and semi-acoustic character, but slightly reduces the low-end sustain you'd find in a solid body.
