It captures that boutique take on classic American hollow body design, blending vintage feel with precise modern build quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt to King Snake’s 2025 factory specification, the Smith features a fully hollow maple body with a solid maple top and back, paired with a mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard. The neck profile leans on the chunkier side but remains מאוד comfortable in the hand, offering a reassuring grip without feeling cumbersome. At just 5.70lb, it’s exceptionally lightweight, adding to its resonance and making it a joy to play for extended sessions. The ultra thin nitro finish allows the body to breathe and resonate freely, and has been expertly applied with a subtle aged patina reminiscent of high-end custom shop VOS-style instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLoaded with King Snake’s custom-wound SMITH-1 P-90 pickups, this guitar delivers a voice that’s rooted firmly in vintage character but with clarity and balance throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTonally, it’s open, woody, and highly responsive. The hollow construction gives it an airy, almost acoustic-like bloom, with a soft compression that enhances dynamics without masking detail. The bridge pickup has that unmistakable P-90 bite—raw, slightly gritty, and rich in upper midrange harmonics—perfect for blues, roots, and driven rock tones. It cuts through a mix with ease while still retaining warmth. The neck pickup is round and full, with a smooth, vocal quality that works beautifully for clean passages and expressive lead lines. Roll the volume back and it cleans up gracefully, offering a wide palette of usable tones straight from the controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe overall feel is lively and immediate, with excellent note separation and a natural resonance that you can feel against the body. It’s equally at home for jazz, blues, or more roots-driven styles, and responds particularly well to touch and dynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePresented in excellent condition, clearly well cared for, with no discernible fret wear. The setup is spot on, offering an easy, comfortable playing action across the neck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lightweight, characterful hollow body with boutique appeal and a truly musical voice. Supplied with its original high-quality case and accompanying paperwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"King Snake","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57038448132471,"sku":null,"price":1499.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/2672\/6709\/files\/G4742_01.jpg?v=1776953741","url":"https:\/\/motomusic.co.uk\/products\/king-snake-smith-2025-orange-brown-viper","provider":"MotoMusic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
