Overview
The 54OP might be called the black sheep of the 1950's collection. It avoids tradition in favor of a bolder look and tone. You can't help but notice the Open Pore finish on this Sungkai bodied guitar that delivers a more natural feel. This finish will preserve the natural acoustic properties of the tonewood while still providing excellent protection. The powerful Rockfield SWC humbucker can be coil-tapped via the push/pull tone knob to deliver single-coil tone. The fast and comfortable neck is enhanced with a 10" radius on the premium Ebony fretboard. So eschew tradition with your own 54OP.

I can't say enough about this guitar. I have had squires and Mexican fenders. I have played American tele's and this one sweeps them under the rug. The rockfield pickup is amazing and the coil split takes you to tele town. This guitar handles everything from country to metal, jazz to classic rock and everything in between. I cannot say enough about Michael Kelly guitars. I am a fan for life. One thing you should know is that it will most likely need a setup, the action came a little high, but no finish issues or high frets. Truly a stunning instrument, and the Sungkai wood is beautiful. Do yourself a favor and get one. Professional musician here, and this guitar is on point.
