Danelectro ‘66T

Danelectro ‘66T

B&G Little Sister Crossroads

B&G Little Sister Crossroads

MusicRadar's verdict:

“There’s more than a refreshing change here in that B&G is clearly drawing on different influences and not just offering us (yet) another shade of the Les Paul, SG, Strat or Telecaster.”
