Erlewine Automatic 1980s sunburst

Selling here probably one of the rarest guitars on this planet. It comes from the well-known guitar builder Mark Erlewine from Austin, Texas, USA. Definitely only 300 of these guitars were built in a small Japanese factory. 1981, shortly after Billy Gibbons of ZZ TOP occurred for the first time in Europe playing the legendary Rockpalast live on TV on 20.04.1980.

The design, it is a mixture of stratocaster and Les Paul.

Set in mahogany neck with Rosewood fingerboard, Mahogany Body with flamed maple top and a DiMarzio USA humbucker at the bridge for a Les Paul typical, warm and fat sound. The bridge with the strings through the body, delivers the crisp attack and endless sustain. With the single volume knob, set the sound when turning back from heavily distorted to clear and clean. There is no sound lost by tone controls or switches etc.

The guitar is very light. It weighs only 3,1kg (about 6.8lbs). Played without an amp it sounds very loud, resonant and balanced. All strings sound in all positions very balanced and defined. Amplified the guitar provides a fantastic, powerful blues and rock sound, otherwise only the most expensive custom shop guitars or original old vintage Les Pauls can generate.

The guitar has a few dongs, but nothing striking. The frets are very well-rehearsed, no rattle, very smooth to play. The neck is straight and can be adjusted at the Gibson Style neck adjustment screw.

The neck has a slim, middle C-profile on the saddle and is about 43mm wide. It feels and plays fantastic and is also ideal for guitarists with smaller hands. All the frets and all notes can be reached without effort.
