  • The intro uses layered electric guitar with reverb and delay to create a spacious, uplifting sound.

The original solid-body electric guitar. Its snappy bridge pickup and no-nonsense construction deliver a sharp, cutting tone perfect for country, rock and blues. Favored by Keith Richards, Bruce Springsteen and countless session players.

Originally designed for jazz, the Jazzmaster became the guitar of indie rock and alternative. Its floating tremolo, rhythm/lead circuit and soapbar pickups deliver a distinctive, warm and slightly noisy tone that defines shoegaze and alternative sounds.

The gold standard for clean tone. The Twin Reverb's 85 watts of headroom, brilliant spring reverb and crystal-clear sound make it the preferred amp for country, blues and clean rock. It stays clean louder than almost anything else.
