GOWEN SC CUSTOM ELECTRIC GUITAR
This is our SC
We built our first SC because we couldn't afford an LP. But we promised ourselves we weren't going to get sucked into 're-inventing the wheel,' so we made a decision just to make it more... wheely. A more modern 'wheel' for pragmatic players who value unique, one-of-a-kind instruments. An easier wheel to perform with or learn on. And definitely a cheaper wheel.
You'll find different body and pickup configurations across the SC range (see below), but every SC is built by hand, by us, to the same standard and each model offers subtle differences in feel and tone.
Take a look through the models to find the SC that fits your music.
