Sisu #006: Short scale, less switches!

While we’re busy building custom-ordered Sisu guitars, we’ve reserved a few of the very first serial numbers for special stock instruments. These guitars appear on our website from time to time, each one featuring something we’ve never done before — and Sisu #006 is no exception.

The standout features (and there are many!) of Sisu #006 are the new Rustic White BareBone finish and the short 24” scale length — the latter requested by many, in the spirit of that certain iconic offset electric guitar model from long ago.

So far, most Sisu guitars have featured the unique Switcheroo switching system, but this time we opted for a straightforward, stripped-down layout we quite logically call the Switcherno: volume, tone, 3-way toggle… that’s it.

Ahem… some may notice a slightly mystical line in the specs regarding the pickups. Yes, this guitar features a prototype set of humbucker-sized P90s that don’t even have names yet — aaand… this is all top secret, so promise not to tell anyone (except maybe just your best friend). 🙃

Interested in making this guitar yours? Reach out for an offer—or if you have any questions about the guitar or the buying process, I’ll be happy to help!
