The Richmond Dorchester gets even more sonic versatility and vintage flare with the addition of the Bigsby Tremolo bridge on select models which include the Natural HG and Solid Cream HG finishes. This Tone Giant features a 25 ½” scale, two classic sounding Lace Alumitone humbucker pickups, housed in a double cutaway chambered body with a silver leaf maple center and poplar wings.

The pickups are controlled by separate volume and tone knobs, along with a 4-way switch that allows you to select between various tantalizing sounds, including the first position which enables the neck & bridge to be in-series, giving the player a fatter tone and more output.
