Shabat Lion JD Justin Derrico Signature VT - Black over Gold 006

2025 Shabat  Lion JD‑VT –  Black over Gold

The Altitude Summary

Introducing this brand-new 2025 Shabat Lion JD-VT – signature model built by the boutique team at Shabat in the USA. Stainless-serial number #006. Finished in striking Black-over-Gold and arriving in its original hard shell case with all factory accessories (“with candy”). This guitar weighs in at a lean 7.3 lb, which is slightly lighter than typical for this line (often ~7.5-8 lb) and contributes to a highly comfortable playing experience on extended sessions. The action is very low and nimble right out of the box, making it effortless to dig in and perform. Condition: brand new, no wear, scratch or fret-wear. Plays great and is ready for stage or studio from day one.

Crafted for Expression

Under the hood, this Lion JD-VT showcases premium all-mahogany construction (body + neck) paired with a rosewood fretboard, 24.75″ scale length and a Medium C neck profile (~0.84″–0.95″) for that classic feel with modern responsiveness. The build includes a nitrocellulose lacquer finish that lets the instrument breathe and age beautifully. The Black-over-Gold aesthetic delivers stage presence and boutique gravitas.

Tone & Hardware Excellence

This model is built for tone-hungry players: dual humbuckers from Lollar (Imperial series) give articulate clarity in clean settings and thick sustain when pushed. The bridge features a premium tremolo system (in VT version) offering smooth vibrato while maintaining tuning stability. The medium-C neck and lightweight 7.3 lb body make this guitar both comfortable and responsive—perfect for lead work, rhythm crunch or studio tracking where feel matters as much as sound.

Ready for the Spotlight

Whether you’re stepping up your stage rig or adding a high-end boutique piece to your collection, this Shabat Lion JD-VT delivers across the board. The light weight means less fatigue on long sets; the low action means you’ll be playing with ease from the moment you plug in. With serial #006, and brand-new condition, you’re getting one of the earliest build slots of the 2025 run—an excitation for players and collectors alike.
