Meet the B3 Metal Phoenix – the new and highly popular model in Gene Baker’s exciting neck-thru body Metal series. A strong seller from the moment it was introduced in 2012, the Phoenix comes in an expanded range of options for 2013 (Humbucker variations, Strat control layout or Tele control layout, more). Many Phoenix models are single piece of wood – no “wings” glued onto a center neck plank – for superior tone transfer and resonance.
