Description
The Chord CAL63M is a traditionally styled electric guitar in metallic red, built around a contoured basswood body with a bolt-on maple neck. It carries three single coil pickups, giving you the classic bright and clear tones that suit a wide range of playing styles. The 22-fret neck comes with a choice of HPL rosewood or maple fingerboard, and the 648mm scale length keeps the feel familiar for most players.
Control is handled by two tone knobs, a master volume and a 5-way lever selector, so you can move quickly between pickup combinations. The vintage styled vibrato bridge, sometimes called a tremolo system, lets you add pitch bends and dips. Chrome hardware runs throughout, including the 6-a-side closed gear tuning machine heads and the vibrato bridge itself, both chosen to hold tuning while keeping the look period-correct.
With a 42mm nut width and 22 medium frets, the CAL63M is comfortable for chord work and lead lines alike. It weighs 3.84kg, which sits in the usual range for a guitar of this type. All woods are taken from sustainable sources. This is an affordable and versatile instrument, well suited to beginners finding their feet as well as players wanting a dependable second guitar for practice, rehearsal or the stage.
