USED Erlewine Guitars / Automatic Cherry Sunburst [11]

The true value of 1980s Japanese craftsmanship—a hidden gem that will impress even the most discerning enthusiasts!
The Erlewine Guitars AUTOMATIC (Made in Japan) is a simple yet practical electric guitar featuring a ST-style body that’s easy to handle, equipped with a single rear humbucker. Its stripped-down design allows the player’s touch and nuances to come through directly.
Featuring a flame maple and mahogany combination with a set-neck construction, it delivers a tight, responsive attack and a rich, full-bodied lead tone with a resilient midrange. The straightforward sound characteristic of a single-pickup setup truly shines in rock and blues.
