2019 Howie Escape Series #0021 (Marie)

This is one of our highest end Escape Series. All of the hardware and electronics are top shelf and the inlays, wood and finish are highly detailed. The Sugar Maple fretboard along with our rose vine inlays is one of a kind, and the Phat Cat Seymour Duncan pickups give the old school P90 sound with a new age bite.

One of my personal favorite details of this guitar is the neck. It is very shallow similar to the old school Gibson ES 330 and 335s. The depth at the nut is just 0.76in and only 0.84in at the 12th fret. This makes it incredibly comfortable and fast. The hollow body makes it very light weighing in at just 5.8lbs. It also has our U.S. patented nautilus shell design inside giving it the signature Escape series sound.

I'd definitely give that a go. On a side note our Howie will hate it with the gold hardware.

 

[Dexter Inferno]

Definitely not a big a fan of inlays like that, but otherwise I don't mind it too much.

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

It died on the vine.

 

[jelloman]

I miss Howie...

 

[LeftyTom]

Not quite....

 

[335clone]

Too understated

 

[PunkKitty]

Not my taste.

 

[dodgechargerfan]

It's fancy.
Maybe too fancy.

 

[Denverdave]

Yeah.....no thank you. Way, WAY too ostentatious for me.

 

[Aahzz]

That's gonna be a "no" from me. I thought about listing the things I don't like, because I started with "I don't like the inlay" but then I realized it'd end up being everything.

 

[Lerxst]

nautilus shell bracing, fibonacci arch top carving, & golden ratio fretboard radius? Someone's leaning into that math degree

 

[Chicken Man]

Another guitar without a front-view photo. Suspicious.

 

[Monson]

No my cuppa.

 

[bsman]

To be a real Howiecaster it needs a middle pickup and Bigsby...

 

[Motorik]

That's gonna be a "no" from me. I thought about listing the things I don't like, because I started with "I don't like the inlay" but then I realized it'd end up being everything.

+1

Ditch the inlay and the gold hardware, and I'd hit it.
