My Case guitar is now firmly established as my number one choice.

PAUL CARRACK - singer/songwriter

J3 thinline Hollow body

A traditional laminated construction with spruce parallel bracing makes this guitar very stable and keeps feedback to a minimum. Top, back and sides are laminated in carefully selected maple. Easy access to the top frets is made possible with our offset, Florentine cutaway. The neck is beautifully hand carved from one piece of quarter sawn mahogany, creating a very stable neck with a great feel. There is a choice of fingerboard, either rosewood for it's rich, warm tone, or ebony for it's slightly brighter response and durability.

This guitar comes fitted with a floating Gotoh tuneomatic bridge on an ebony base. Vintage style Kluson tuners guarantee fine tuning and smooth operation. A 50’s wiring scheme is used in all our guitars as we have found that it minimises treble loss when rolling back the volume.

The Bare Knuckle single coil P90 pickups come as standard and combine the best tonal elements of both humbuckers and single coils. The wide, squat coil creates a fatter tone compared to a Strat or Tele, while the twin magnet design lends all the power of a humbucker. A touch sensitive dynamic and the ability to clean up well as the volume is backed off, the Nantucket 90 really does lend itself to a huge range of playing styles.
