The all-new 2023 Baker-T Classic is Larrivees latest precision-built American-made T-Style electric guitar. Its fantastic new features include our much sought-after pickup design by Matthew Larrivée, custom polished stainless steel hardware, and exclusive vintage electronics.
The Baker -T Classic comes in five stunning new finishes; Burgundy Mist, Ice Blue Metallic, Copper Metallic, Diablo Red, and Surf Green. We paint the headstocks to match the body and stamp them with a custom metal vapor logo in chrome and black chrome. All headstocks are fit with high-end Gotoh SDS-510 tuners for ultra-smooth precision. Capping it all in is a multi-layer CNC-made pickguard secured with brass inserts and machine screws.
