Country Boy
$2795 including Mono Vertigo Case
The inspiration behind the single-cutaway Switchback Country Boy should be obvious, but it is much more than just a “country” guitar. It can be transformed with hardware and pickup choices to be anything from a simple, Nashville-ready plank to a humbucking rock machine.

Premium Woods
I use only carefully-sourced, lightweight tonewoods for the body and neck. Where available, roasted (torrefied) woods are used for their enhanced resonance, stability, and exquisite appearance. Raw wood blanks are milled, sanded, and shaped by me in my shop – I don’t use any outsourced bodies or necks.
Mono Vertigo Included
I wanted a case that would protect the guitar during shipping and during everyday use, and the Vertigo does that as well or better than anything available. On top of that, it fits all three of my guitar models and probably fits most of the other guitars you own. So when you buy a Switchback, not only do you get a great new guitar but you get a great new case that you can use with your Switchback and your other guitars, too!
