What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Carved figured maple top Impeccable feel, enhanced body contours
Mahogany body Rich, warm, focused sound; added sustain
Mahogany neck Great sustain, strength, and warm tone
Pau Ferro fretboard Delivers strong midrange presence and punch

The Patriot Instinct has a sexy arched-top single cutaway body with a Quilt Maple top, Tune-O-Matic bridge, and a Modern C neck profile for comfort without sacrifice.

But looks aren't everything -- the Patriot Instinct punches higher than its weight class with the Great 8 Electronics mod: Easily transition from full, warm, powerful humbucker tones to focused single-coil sounds at the pull of a knob. This can be done on both the bridge and the neck humbuckers for maximum flexibility.

Bringing the tone from Sunday morning straight through Saturday night, the Patriot Instinct will be the one you reach for again and again.

I just bought a scorched from sam ash. I've had my blue fade since 2018. Never had a problem. Sweet sounding great playing guitar. I would go up against any Les Paul. I've been playing since 1973! The switch issue is somewhat common with guitars shipped from overseas. My PRS had switch problems. If DeOxit doesn't work, replacing it is easy and worth it. At least you guys who complain didn't spend $2,000.00 for a Gibson!
