Mongoose Special

Mongoose Special

The same basic guitar as the Mongoose without the carved top. The flattop body is available in all-mahogany or with a flat maple top. The Mongoose Special can have a sunburst finish over a flamed maple top with binding for a traditional "vintage" vibe, or get it with an infamous Tyler Shmear finish for a modern look. Any body wood we have is available.

The Special can be custom-tailored to your desires with options such as a maple or mahogany neck, from 2 humbuckers to 3 soap bars with a 5-way switch blade switch, or even a 2-post or 6-screw vibrato bridge. Stop bar or hardtail, the choices are almost endless. Throw in a midboost and kick it up a level.
