Description
The Chord CAL62 is a single cutaway electric guitar built in a traditional slab body style, finished here in 3 tone sunburst. The solid basswood body is bolted to a maple neck, with a rosewood or maple fingerboard depending on the run. It's a familiar shape that sits comfortably against you, and the gloss finish gives it a clean, tidy look. All the woods used are from sustainable sources.
Two single coil pickups do the work here, wired to a master volume, a tone control and a 3-way lever switch (called a pickup selector in the US). That layout gives you the classic range of sounds from this style of guitar, from bright country twang through to a rougher rock tone. The maple neck carries 22 medium frets over a 650mm scale length, with a 42mm nut width that keeps string spacing sensible for both chords and single-note lines.
Hardware includes a chrome plate bridge and 6-a-side chrome button closed geared tuning machine heads (tuners), which hold tuning well and keep restringing simple. The guitar measures 330 x 1000 x 65mm and weighs 3.72kg, so it's a manageable weight for longer playing sessions or gigs. Whether you're picking up your first electric or want a straightforward second guitar with a recognisable voice, the CAL62 covers a lot of ground without any fuss.
