Fender Pawn Shop Super-Sonic Gunmetal Flake

Fender Pawn Shop Super-Sonic

By 2013, New Release No Comments

Very little about the Pawn Shop Super-Sonic isn’t highly distinctive—from its diminutive offset “reverse” body (resembling an upside-down Jazzmaster or Jaguar) and upside-down headstock to its short scale (24″) and dual canted Atomic humbucking pickups.
