This is the SL-K, a “b3” Made in Japan model from Built By Baker. Gene Baker boasts a diverse career in guitar making, having headed the custom shops for both Gibson and Fender, as well as D’Angelico. Based on the specifications of the USA SL Model, this “K version”—the Made in Japan SL-K—is a collaboration with Yoshiyuki Kikuchi.It features a maple top and mahogany back, a mahogany neck, a pearwood fingerboard, a medium scale, Jescar frets (Dunlop #6105 type), original humbuckers (B3/N & B3/B), 2 volume/2 tone controls (with pull-coil split), a 3-way selector switch, and GOTOH tuners and bridge. Following in the footsteps of the SL series—which can be considered the origin of b3 Guitars—this is a hybrid model combining LP and ST styles.
