This Fairbanks F-20 delivers a classic, vintage-spired 00 guitar, built by the small Fairbanks team in Burlington, VT. Founded by luthier Dale Fairbanks, Fairbanks Guitars continue to produce some of our favorite '30s and '40s inspired slope-shoulder builds, with a focused warmth and compressed sound making it the guitar of choice for everything from old-time rhythm to folk and singer-songwriter backup.
A part of the growing Salvage Series from Circle Strings and Fairbanks, this 00-build features a upgraded tonewoods with classic appointments. The name, Salvage Series, is derived from the use of reclaimed spruce tops, harvested from frigid, northern waters. Retrieved from logs originally used in salmon traps in the fjords of Tenakee Springs, Alaska and this reclaimed Sitka spruce is lightweight, delivering a dynamic, focused tone that elevates this build. Paired with old mahogany, there's a resonance and responsiveness that allows for digging in while also handling a more delicate touch, making it a great option for rhythm playing as well as solo porch play.
Includes a free Mass Street setup from our crew of luthiers and a hardshell TKL Case.
