P REMIER MODERN BUILDER VAULT
The Becker ABR is an entirely hand-
carved, neck-through instrument. It
has a 5-piece ziricote and maple top
with ebony accents and a matching
headstock overlay. The intricate
7-piece neck and accented sides
are made from aged Honduran
mahogany with curly maple. The
fretboard features a 16” radius
with a 24. 75” scale length,
while the ebony fretboard has
mother of pearl fret and side
dots with maple accents and
ebony binding.
The guitar is fitted with ebony
and ziricote knobs, tailpiece,
pickup rings and bridge, but can
be easily converted to a Tune-O-
Matic, depending on the player’s
preference. The ABR’s earthy tones
are amplified by two custom shop
Seymour Duncan “Beckerbucker” pick-
ups, resulting in a clean, organic tone.
All edges are heavily rounded and sand-
ed to a sea glass feel. It has a lacquer
finish and is fitted with a set of chrome
Gotoh 510 tuners, an ebony backplate and
a black pearl Becker logo.
