USA Series 44-AJ
Vintage meets modern. The 44-AJ Deluxe incorporates the vintage neck shape and feel of the 44-60, but adds a beautiful figured “drop top” with our LH3 3 band EQ preamp mounted from the back for a beautifully finished Active J. The AJ comes with either single coil or hum-canceling pickups that offer a bit more modern attack when paired with our preamp. Other options include:
- Figured Quilted Maple or Flame Maple top over Swamp Ash body
- Optional Mother of Pearl, Abalone or Ebony block inlays and available white or black neck binding
- Available matching headstock color on most finishes
- Available Ebony lined or unlined fretless
- Available Available Hipshot D-Extender
All USA Series Instruments include a hard shell case.
