Description

The 2018 SVL S 61 Reserve, affectionately dubbed Georgia Blue, is not just any guitar; it s a piece of blues history, having been the personal guitar of blues maestro Matt Schofield. This exceptional instrument has been at the forefront of Schofield s worldwide touring from 2018 until recently, bearing witness to countless performances and musical moments. Crafted with an ash body and a stunning flame maple neck, it features a Brazilian rosewood fingerboard that holds sentimental value, being originally from Schofield s very first SVL guitar known as Daytona. This connection adds a layer of personal history and significance to Georgia Blue.

The guitar has recently undergone a refret with 6100 frets, ensuring it plays smoothly and meets the demands of professional performance. It s equipped with Mark Foley 59 Reserve V1 Pickups, chosen for their exceptional tonal quality and ability to capture the nuanced dynamics of Schofield s playing. The play wear present on the guitar is a testament to its history, all of which was earned by Matt Schofield himself through rigorous touring and performance schedules. Weighing in at a comfortable 7lbs 5oz, this guitar is not only a powerhouse of blues tone but also a joy to play for extended periods. It ships in a Gator Hardcase, ensuring its protection during transit, and comes with a letter of Authenticity, confirming its provenance and connection to Matt Schofield. Georgia Blue is more than an instrument; it s a storied companion to one of the blues contemporary greats.
