Bantams started with the idea that a guitar is first a function of its scale length. WIth its 26-3/16” scale, the Bantam has a big low-end response with steely highs. Mids are pushed perfectly with the CI90 (or Lollar Staple) while retaining string definition and punch. Clean tones are open and airy with that steely attack. When overdriven, the guitar has a wide frequency response that will fill the room. Think big.
Though the scale is a bit longer, playability is uncompromised. The Bantam feels familiar and nimble under your fingers. You’re gonna love it.
