The Electric Bolt T: A Lightning-Themed Rock and Roll Machine

Aircraft aluminum over solid mahogany. Two P90s. Lightning bolts everywhere — and one red lightning surprise hidden in the details — a new model in our Model T family that I'm calling the Electric Bolt T.
The Build
The top is thin aircraft aluminum over a solid mahogany body. Bolt-on maple neck, 21 frets, ebony fretboard bound with our patented tone-layer binding.
Pickups & Controls
This one keeps it simple — it's a straight-up rock and roll machine: two P90s, a 3-way switch, master volume, and tone. That's it. You turn it up, rip the knob off, and rock out.
The Lightning Details
The fun on this one is in the details. Once you start looking, you'll see the lightning-bolt theme everywhere — lightning-bolt gear knobs, lightning-bolt 3-way switch tip, a lightning-bolt string tree at the headstock, and a few lightning-bolt rivets on the aluminum top. And one of my favorite features — check this out — there's a hidden red lightning detail that only shows up when you look closely. Little surprises like that are what make these one-of-a-kind builds fun to make.
