The Dingwall SP1 takes classic P-style attitude and elevates it with modern, multi-scale precision. A thinner alder body keeps it lightweight and resonant, while the one-piece maple neck and rolled-edge rosewood fingerboard offer smooth, effortless playability. Powered by passive alnico pickups and Dingwall’s 4-way Quad-Tone selector, the SP1 delivers everything from deep thump to articulate growl—no batteries required. A matte Coco Gold pickguard adds a unique visual touch, and the custom Minimalist bridge with riser system makes dialing in your action easy and string-friendly.
Built for serious players and packed with thoughtful details, the SP1 is pure Dingwall.
