Story
The Eastwood Mad Cat MB63 tips its hat to one of the great troublemakers in guitar history: the modified Telecaster instrument played by Michael Bloomfield, later nicknamed “the guitar that killed folk.” The original wasn’t precious. It had that famously rough upper horn cutaway and a straight-to-the-point, workmanlike feel. It looked like someone simply decided it needed to be different, and made it so. That’s the spirit we wanted to keep.
With the MB63, we’ve recreated that unmistakable silhouette and given it a relic finish that feels honest rather than flashy. Taking inspiration from the vintage car world, we decided to add a clear coat over the distressed body finish to seamlessly blend the old with the new.
At its core, this is still a no-nonsense single-cut with all the snap, bite, and clarity you’d hope for. It’s for players who like their guitars a little rough around the edges and a lot big on personality. Go ahead, make some history!
