The Frank Brothers Radar Deluxe in Royal Silver Burst leans into that late 70s Gibson SG silverburst aesthetic, reworked with a modern boutique edge. Instead of staying strictly vintage, it brings in a purple halo around the perimeter that gives it a completely different energy. It still carries that familiar silver center, but the added depth and color make it feel more refined and distinctly its own without losing the attitude that made the original finish so iconic.
In hand, it delivers a modern boutique take on an SG feel. There is a natural midrange push and warmth, but it stays clear and responsive as you dig in or bring up the gain. It does not fight you or feel overbuilt, it just responds exactly how you want it to. If you are drawn to the look and voice of a great SG but want something more unique and dialled, this Radar Deluxe delivers.

What our collectors say.
"Blaise spent an hour with me in the gallery before I even thought about buying. No pressure, just passion. I ended up leaving with the perfect guitar."
"The whole experience felt completely different from any guitar store I've been to. It felt like a private gallery."
"I traded in two guitars towards a PRS Private Stock and the whole process was handled perfectly. Fast, fair, and totally transparent."
"Bought my first boutique guitar through The Vibrato Bar. The attention to detail from the setup, the packaging and the follow-up was all exceptional."
