Folks get ready! We have another CC Gold Archtop from Tad Brown that’s an absolute beast. This beauty features Old Growth Adirondack Spruce, Red Maple, and African Blackwood. The pickup is an authentic reproduction of the original 1930’s Gibson Charlie Christian pickup. Nearly all modern reproductions are substituting with compact alnico magnets for convenience, however this one notably features the real deal genuine full size cobalt steel magnets, made by CC Pickups in the UK. Jazz guitarist Sean McGowan plays a Brown CC Gold as well.

Tad Brown has attracted the attention of some of the world's best guitarist like Sean McGowan. Not only because his instruments are amazingly beautiful, but because they almost play themselves, and he has revived the Charlie Christian pickup system in a way that really works. Watch the video and learn more about this pickup, there's more to it then meets the eye! You can hear Tad Brown guitars on the latest “Union Station” record from Sean McGowan as well. 
Dang. This is such a joy to experience. I love Tad's beveled bindings, his flawless fit and finish and eye for premium tonewoods--and the incredible Charlie Christian-style pickup system to make it sing. | Scale Length | 25.4 in |
