When you properly practice guitar there are three things to be aware of always use a strap
because you're going to need it playing standing up have a light touch on the strings
and try not to always rest your hand on the bridge this is the bootlegger spade
five pounds, twenty five and a half inch scale headless guitar with an HSH setup 24 frets now
you could say it's a travel guitar because of the size and the weight and that's true but after
playing it for a while i've come to realize that this could very well be an ideal practice guitar
it has a three piece hard maple body and hard swamp ash body wings with a maple neck brazilian
cherry Jatoba fretboard and a poly finish the pickups are two alnico 5 humbuckers in a
single coil with an alchemy trim system tone and volume controls and the tone control splits the
humbuckers now when you're playing it you might want to use the typical classical pose you know
also that's where a strap comes in and the poly finish on the neck as in all poly necks can be a
little sticky to slide but that's only because it's a five pound guitar so use a really light
touch and resting your hand on the bridge is going to activate the trim so play just above it
It sounds like a youtube marketing video thing i know but this style of guitar is so different
it made me play in a different way a good way everything i've been told to do when
playing guitar is almost forced on me with the bootlegger spade and that's a good thing
it also stays in tune beautifully and to tune it just use the adjustment screws at the bridge
and yeah you can also use a clip-on tuner if you want to it comes in a beautiful padded hard case
with the bootlegger logo and Chuck also throws in a branded whiskey flask
'other alcoholic beverages are available' all the adjustment tools
and a custom bootlegger face mask now that was a really nice thought
The neck pickup is a mid-output humbucker suitable for all genres from jazz to blues rock bridge is
also medium output with plenty of sustain for lead play as well so who's it for it's marketed
or at least perceived as a travel guitar and whilst that's true i also found it to be perfect
to improve my playing it worked for me anyway so thanks to Chuck at bootlegger guitar for sending
this over for me to check out on this channel and i'll leave links to all things bootlegger
in the description so you can check them out check all the other guitars and amps out that
bootlegger make but what did you think of it let me know as always in the comments below and cheers
