A unique person, a unique guitarist and a unique guitar are probably the best words to describe the late legend Bo Diddley, his style and his favorite instrument, the rectangle-shaped six-string which he played throughout his stellar career. Currently available G6138 Bo Diddley is a very faithful reproduction of Mr. Diddley`s own rectangle guitar. It belongs to the exclusive Professional Collection series and costs somewhat affordable (strictly in the context of Professional Collection`s price tag policy) $3,179. Iconic rectangle body is solid, flat and made of plain maple. It is paired with a rock maple neck with a 22-fret ebony fingerboard on top. A pair of High Sensitive FilterTron humbuckers is featured in front of the classic Adjust-o-Matic bridge. Grover Rotomatic tuners complete the specs list of this iconic rocker.
