Crafted for the player
Designed with the player in mind, Brooklyn guitars prioritise minimal weight and excellent ergonomics. As such, the body of the instrument is crafted from lightweight poplar, allowing you to play for hours without strain, and ensuring you always feel your best during practice sessions.
The Brooklyn’s shorter scale length means you won’t need to stretch as far to reach notes, and the strings feel lighter under the fingers, perfect for new guitarists or younger players. The classic double horn design and contoured body shape offer easy access to the entire fretboard, and the body's in-built strap buttons make it easy to attach a strap, enabling you to jam in whatever position feels most comfortable for you.
Reliable hardware
A chrome tune-o-matic bridge and die-cast machine heads provide solid tuning stability and make maintenance easy. The bolt-on neck construction is a classic, reliable design used across countless guitars. Matte finishes on the body and neck give the guitar a sleek, modern appearance and feel, great on stage or for home practice alike.
Versatile pickups and controls
The Brooklyn comes equipped with two open humbucking pickups and a three-way selector switch – a classic configuration used by players like Angus Young, Tony Iommi, and Derek Trucks. The three-way switch allows you to select different combinations of the two pickups as follows:
- Bridge Pickup Only
- Bridge and Neck Pickups
- Neck Pickup Only
Explainer: pickups are the magnets which take the vibrations of a guitar string and transfer the signal to an amplifier - learn more in the attached guitar guide!
These three pickup positions give access to a wide range of classic tones. The bridge pickup offers a bright, aggressive sound that works well for cutting lead lines and crunchy rhythm parts, ideal for heavier rock or punk. The neck pickup is warmer and rounder, perfect for smooth solos or laid-back rhythm work. And when both pickups are combined, you get a balanced, full-bodied tone that suits anything from blues to hard rock, making the Brooklyn a flexible choice for developing your sound.
The two awesome pickups are also controlled via intuitive volume and tone dials, making it easier than ever to get your ideal sound. The tone knob allows you to quickly brighten/dampen your tone and the volume knob gives you instant access to adjusting your level.
