Made in the USA, the SH B3 features Black Hipshot hardware, including the tuners (with a D-tuner) and the bridge, which also houses piezo pickups. To round out the electronics, Stu worked with EMG to make an exclusive X-series configuration. The knobs control Volume, Tone, and Piezo volume.

The Washburn SH B3 is the first of the Hammer line, with models without the piezos in the works. The SH B3 is priced at $3,199.00. For more info, visit Washburn’s website.
