Milwaukee Guitar Company Chief 317 Black - Prototype
It's always fun to have a locally made guitar in the shop and a prototype is even better! This Milwaukee Chief tells a story. The semi-hollow Mahogany body with Maple Top have that beautiful balanced tone. The Mahogany Neck is a very comfortable C and the Rosewood board adds nice warmth and depth to the tone. Before Milwaukee was developing their own tremolo systems they were trying out different third party options. This Chief is equipped with a Bigsby for those classic vibrato sounds. This guitar is full of tonal possibilities, a 5 way blade for the Piezo pickup and a 3 way toggle for the humbuckers gives you endless options. It's not everyday we get a prototype and this one is quite special. If you want to own a piece of Milwaukee Guitar Co. history, here is your chance!
