Sportster Classic |
September 3, 1999
The Sportster Twin and Sportster Classic (shown) are completely manufactured,
finished and assembled in U.S. Masters' facility in Middleton, WI, USA. They feature
U.S. Masters' patented features and innovations including their Ever-Tru neck
with its Extended Uniform Profile, Captive Neck Joint with its low profile heel,
and Contoured Flex Truss Rod Assembly with full access truss rod adjustment. All
hardware and components are of the finest quality and are made in the USA.
The Sportster Twin features two custom-designed Alnico V humbuckers with a
3-way toggle switch, volume and tone with an upgrade available to U.S. Masters
Versatek or Hammer harnesses with 5-way selection and 10 sounds. The Sportster
Classic features a custom-designed high output Alnico V humbucker and two custom-designed
high output single coils with 5-way selection, volume and tone. As on all U.S.
Masters models, the tone control is very useful providing at least one additional
legitimate voicing for each switch position.
U.S. Masters new Sportster body style is lightweight and features a rear "tummy"
relief and a large forearm relief. It is well-balanced, "wraps" into
your body and is desgined to be comfortable to play. The lower cutaway and low
profile heel give players access to the entire fingerboard including no change
in the neck profile. The feel is consistent along the entire playing surface of
the neck.
Sperzel's staggered height tuning machines, Graph Tech Trem nut and a string-thru-body
hardtail bridge are standard on both models. Options include: a Point Classic
floating tremolo; Original Floyd Rose double locking tremolo; a variety of pickguards;
matte (satin) and high gloss finishes; pickup and wiring harnesses. The guitars
feature a 25 1/2" scale length, conical (compound) radius fingerboard, and
a 12 1/4" wide body.
The Sportster Twin lists for $1,099 including a deluxe hardshell case. The
Sportster Classic lists for $1,149 with case. They are also available left handed
for an extra $100.
