Rapier 33 Electric Guitar: Left-Hand Fiesta Red

Introducing the Rapier 33 Electric Guitar in Left-Hand Fiesta Red, a stunning new generation masterpiece crafted by the renowned UK designer, Alan Entwistle. This guitar carries the legacy of its predecessor, the original Rapier 33, which was a staple in the British guitar industry and a launchpad for countless guitarists in the 60s and 70s. The Rapier 33 has been meticulously upgraded, retaining its iconic charm while introducing hardware improvements and playability enhancements that make it a standout instrument for both vintage enthusiasts and modern players.

Superior Craftsmanship and Tone

Boasting an original double-cutaway solid body crafted from Okoume, a tonewood prized for its warmth and clarity, the Rapier 33 offers a rich, full-bodied sound. The 4-bolt, soft 'C' profiled neck, made from hard rock Canadian maple, provides exceptional comfort and speed, while the 12-inch radius rosewood fingerboard with 23 medium jumbo frets ensures accurate playability. The Wilkinson machine heads and high-spec roller bridge guarantee stable tuning and precise intonation. The Rapier 33 features three Alan Entwistle low-noise EWR64 mini-humbucker pickups, offering a balanced output and clear tone that can be further shaped with the 'Bass Cut' switch, delivering the classic 60s jangle.

Modern Features for Versatile Performance

With its Fiesta Red finish and new Rapier headstock logo, the Rapier 33 is visually striking. But it's the modern upgrades that truly set it apart. The Volume and Tone controls, wired with 500k pots, provide a smooth and responsive feel. The Tone control includes a 0.015 mfd cap, ensuring clarity and rich response when overdriven. The three-way pickup selector and two slide switches offer seven pickup permutations, making the Rapier 33 extremely versatile for any style of music. Whether you're a collector, a vintage enthusiast, or a professional musician, the Rapier 33 in Left-Hand Fiesta Red is a guitar that will exceed your expectations.
