Overview
Brand name:
Product:
- electric guitars
Dates of manufacture:
The B&G Little Sister was designed by David Weitzman (a jewelry artist who also makes the brass hardware for the Little Sister). Weitzman was taken with the throaty tone of the early small bodied parlor guitars played by the delta bluesmen and came up with a design that combined a early parlor acoustic with a modern electric guitar. He took this design to B&G who loved it and eventually put it into production as the Little Sister model in 2015. The B&G Little Sister is available both with and without cutaway (non-cutaway has a thicker 1.96" body) and with P90s or humbuckers. B&G make many of the components for the Little Sister themselves. This includes casting their own brass hardware, winding their own pickups and even making their own glue
