Signature model of Billy Watman with pickup for great stage performances

Distinctive sound thanks to selected tonewoods

Structure & Sound

With its full 4/4 construction, the BYWSM features a large soundbox that produces a rich, full-bodied tone. The ebony body is paired with a solid spruce top, the most popular wood for guitar tops. Its hard, inelastic nature creates a resonant soundboard that guarantees lasting tonal pleasure. The spruce adds warmth and round, soft tones, while delivering clear, distinctive highs. This well-defined sound suits a wide range of musical styles.

Comfortable construction for long playing sessions

Playability

Comfort was also a top priority in this model. The matte mahogany neck sits comfortably in the hand, while the 48 mm saddle width is ideal for flatpicking and strumming. A new type of cutaway provides unrestricted access to the higher registers, and the player-friendly beveled armrest offers a comfortable spot for the forearm, making long performances and jam sessions completely relaxed.

The pickup system provides the perfect performance that makes every song shine

Electronics

For perfectly tuned stage performances, the guitar features the Clasica Blend Electronics pickup system from Fishman/Ortega. The system delivers undistorted sound and includes a 3-band equalizer to adjust bass, midrange, and treble, along with a volume control for precise tuning to any environment. An integrated tuner ensures reliable tuning at all times.

The finish, optical details and laser engraved signature make the model an absolute must for fans

Design

The guitar’s visual design is equally impressive. A natural high-gloss finish highlights the wood grain, while the white ebony body makes a striking impression. Abalone bindings combined with the flamed acacia recessed armrest perfectly complement the abalone-acacia rosette. Personal touches from the artist include a signature hat inlay on the twelfth fret and a laser-engraved signature on the headstock.
