In this episode the Black Bobbin Chicago Phantone takes its channel debut — Aged Seafoam Green nitrocellulose lacquer with beautiful finish checking, Black Bobbin Lollar JM Pickups, Mastery hardware throughout — into the Benson Amps Monarch 2x12" with Scumback H75-PVC 65W speakers via the Boss Waza Tube Amp Expander. R2R Electric Rangemaster OC44, Origin Effects Revival Drive Compact, Effectrode Tube Vibe, and Echo Fix EF-X3 all feature.
In Shelby's words:
"Designed in partnership with Carlos Lopez, the Black Bobbin Phantone takes inspiration from the rich history of instrument manufacturing in Chicago during the 1950s and 1960s. The guitars and basses produced during that era left a lasting impression on the culture and were used on some of the most fundamental music of that time. Drawing influence from our favorite mid-century guitars, the Phantone design is centered around our exclusive Lollar JM pickups and an offset-waist body for unmatched tone and comfort. Equipped with Mastery Bridge hardware, the Phantone plays smooth and effortlessly.
With the legacy of Harmony and Kay instrument manufacturing nearly forgotten by the people of Chicago, we are introducing the Phantone to help honor and celebrate the deeply rooted connection between electric guitar and this city. Just a few miles from Black Bobbin, at the end of an elevated pedestrian pathway, sits one of many long-gone Harmony factory sites — completely devoid of any acknowledgment of what once stood in its place. The Black Bobbin Phantone is assembled in Chicago continuing the storied heritage of guitar making in this city."
