Echopark Guitars Unveils Ghetto Bird FG

Echopark Guitars has added the Ghetto Bird FG model to its line of handmade-in-the-U.S. guitars.

From the company:

Deep in the heart of the naked city, when the street lights burn bright and the noise from another daily grind fades beneath the cover of night, a midnight lady finds her place on the street.

Strong and lean with a swagger bathed in the broth of a well-trained hustle; decked to the nines with nothing but the essentials and cut head to toe with echoes of a fine line, red wine with a side of a lick and a promise.

It's time for the Ghetto romance to begin, with a Bird that's ready to moan the lullabies of the blistering city streets.
