Description
The 2018 St. Blues Bluesmaster Quilt Top in Natural is a straightforward example of what the brand has always aimed to do well; take familiar electric guitar concepts and push them through a Memphis-rooted, hot-rod lens. St. Blues, originally founded in Memphis in the early '80s, built its reputation on practical, player-first instruments tied to blues and rock traditions rather than strict vintage copies. This Bluesmaster follows that path with a clean, functional build and a clear focus on tone and usability. The quilted top gives it a more refined look, but the real story is in how it performs.
This one is fitted with a TV Jones Power'Tron in the neck and a Power'Tron Plus in the bridge, giving it a tighter, more articulate response than a typical humbucker setup. There's a noticeable blend of clarity and midrange punch here, with enough output to push an amp while still retaining note definition. 24.75" scale length, and the string-through hardtail bridge keeps things direct and stable. It's been professionally inspected and set up.
Cosmetic Condition:
Clean overall with light signs of use. Shows minor surface wear consistent with normal handling and age, but overall presents well.

Maple neck with a medium profile and 24.75" scale length. Pau ferro fingerboard with dot inlays. Frets show minimal playwear. Equipped with Sperzel non-locking tuners. Neck is straight, truss rod functions properly.
