The original design of the Hep Cat Deluxe with the 2 humbucking Alnico-V pickups is what makes this Highland electric guitar stand out from the crowd. Featuring a quilted maple top, back and sides with a maple neck and Indian rosewood fingerboard are features that are usually associated with guitars custom made by master luthiers. The comfortable feel and playability match the outstanding features which makes the Hep Cat Deluxe a beautiful sounding instrument. The beautiful grain of the wood and the superb tone just add the finishing touches to this professional guitar.

Features
the pickups are ok would change to 57 gibson and the first thing i npticed as soon as i tuned uo played the swich is faulty bad swich had to chang to a better grade switcg dont if they are all like this but if so they should take some time and test play them and then they will find that when switched to lead nothing you have to move it around and even then so in my opion not woth the 800 or so dollors and the tremolo is too low and stiff so i guess i will just stick with fenders gretch and samick
