#06 Blackguard

The Quint Guitars #06 Blackguard is a modern interpretation of the classic T-style guitar. Built with premium components and meticulous attention to detail, this guitar combines vintage aesthetics with contemporary playability enhancements.

Modern Classic Design

While staying true to the iconic butterscotch blonde aesthetic, this guitar incorporates modern upgrades that enhance both playability and tone. The lightweight pine body, finished in a beautiful relic butterscotch blonde nitro by MJT, is paired with a premium roasted maple neck featuring a comfortable 9.5" radius and medium C profile. The neck is finished with tung oil and wax for an incredibly smooth, natural feel.

Premium Pickups & Electronics

The guitar is equipped with a Fralin Vintage Hot Tele pickup set, offering the perfect balance of classic and modern tones:

• Bridge pickup delivers quintessential spank without being harsh
• Neck pickup provides warm, smooth jazz tones
• Premium electronics including CTS pots and MOD tone capacitor
• High-quality cloth wiring throughout

Lightweight Build

The combination of a resonant pine body and roasted maple neck results in an exceptionally light instrument, weighing in at just 7lbs 5oz. This makes it comfortable for long playing sessions while maintaining excellent sustain and tone.

• Gotoh staggered vintage chrome tuning machines
• Gotoh Brass ‘in-tune’ saddles for precise intonation
• Single-ply black pickguard for classic styling
