FROM BLACK BOBBIN:
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. 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. Drawing influence from of 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 smoothly and effortlessly.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:
We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.
We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us to ask any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
