Sandberg Continues 35th Anniversary Celebration with Racing Car Design Series
Sandberg Guitars is celebrating its 35th anniversary with four limited-edition Racing Car Design basses. Each model features racing-inspired finishes that recall “legendary Hollywood movies and today’s race tracks.”
“The limited-edition Racing Car Designs feature Sandberg´s classic shapes like the California TM in light gray with red and blue racing stripes and active electronics, the classic split-coil-loaded California VS in British racing green, a rubin-red California TT with creme racing stripes (with a roasted maple neck and passive electronics) as well as their most radical design – the Sandberg Forty Eight in dyna coat blue with orange stripes!”
All of the basses are treated with Sandberg’s soft-aging treatment and come with aged hardware. They will be available for order throughout 2021 exclusively with prices ranging from $2,000 to $2,660.
