B&G Guitars Unveils Big Sisters Crossroads Bass
B&G Guitars has unveiled a new version of their bass model with the Big Sister Crossroads. The Crossroads edition offers the same look and structure at a more affordable price.
“To be able to offer the best value for our customers, we had to streamline the production,” the company explains. “The Big Sister Crossroads comes only in our most requested finish and perhaps the most classical finish of them all – Tobacco Burst.”
The Big Sister Crossroads features a chambered body built with a three-piece mahogany back and book-matched figured maple top. Its one-piece mahogany neck is accented with an Indian rosewood fingerboard. B&G fits it with a pair of Aguilar AG 4SD-D1 pickups as well as the same solid brass bridge used on their Private Build series.
Hear the Big Sister Crossroads in action in the hands of Michael Frost, Danny Shnaiderman, Lior Ozeri:
The B&G Big Sister Crossroads is available for order with an introductory price of $1,530. Its standard price will go up to $1,799.
