The 2023 Shelton Solar Arrow Light Aged Pelham Blue is a beautifully distinctive instrument that blends classic electric guitar design with refined craftsmanship and vintage-inspired character. Its mahogany body is finished in Light Aged Pelham Blue Nitro, a beautifully understated finish that evokes the character and charm of a well-loved vintage instrument. The matching mahogany neck carries the same light-aged nitro finish, creating a cohesive aesthetic complemented by aged nickel hardware, a five-ply black pickguard, and elegant gold 11 Bonnets knobs. Weighing just 7 lbs. 13 oz., this Arrow offers a comfortable, balanced feel with the warmth and resonance associated with mahogany construction.
The medium oval C neck features a 25.5-inch scale length, a 12-inch radius ebony fingerboard, and 22 Jescar FW 47095 frets. Its tailored C profile measures .835 inches at the first fret and .925 inches at the twelfth fret, providing a substantial yet comfortable feel for both chord work and expressive lead playing. A Tusq XL nut measuring 1.687 inches wide completes the neck specifications, offering a smooth string-contact surface and dependable tuning performance. The combination of ebony, carefully selected fretwork, and thoughtfully shaped neck dimensions creates an exceptionally inviting playing experience.
A pair of Lindy Fralin Pure PAF humbuckers delivers the tonal heart of this instrument, capturing the warmth, clarity, and musical responsiveness of classic PAF-inspired pickups. The electronics feature independent bridge and neck pickup volume controls, a master tone control, and a three-way Switchcraft selector offering bridge, both pickups in parallel, and neck pickup configurations. Premium components include two Bourns split-shaft potentiometers, a Switchcraft three-way switch, a Switchcraft 1/4-inch mono output jack, and a Sprague Orange Drop capacitor. A TonePros AVR2P-N Tune-o-matic bridge provides dependable performance, while Kluson Keystone vintage six-in-line tuning machines complete the traditional hardware appointments.
Finished with .010-.046 gauge strings, this 2023 Shelton Solar Arrow combines vintage-inspired aesthetics, premium electronics, carefully considered construction, and an exceptionally appealing Light Aged Pelham Blue finish. Included is a G&G Deluxe Hardshell Case, providing quality protection and convenient transport. With its resonant mahogany construction, Lindy Fralin Pure PAF pickups, ebony fingerboard, and elegant aged details, this Shelton is an instrument that celebrates timeless guitar design while offering the refinement and playability expected of a meticulously crafted modern instrument.
