Maybach Albatroz '65-2 P90 - Black Aged

The Altitude Summary

The Maybach Albatroz, a hell-raising, lightweight beast, weighs just 6.3 lbs and elevates the P-90 scream to new heights. Its 50s-style classic neck and rosewood fretboard offer a comfortable playing experience, while the "Spirit of '59" pickups deliver the powerful sound expected from this iconic horned body style.

Thunderstruck Crunch and Finish

Fine cracks in the lacquer, the dignified patina of aged nitro lacquer, and traces of years of playing reflect a life spent on the stages of the world. This visual aura is music history you can touch, inspiring players to follow in the footsteps of the greats. Maybach guitars in Aged Look are sealed with a very thin layer of nitrocellulose lacquer and are authentically aged by skilled guitar builders with meticulous attention to detail, creating a true vintage experience from the very first minute.

A Historic Icon

First introduced in 1961 and established until 1965, this solid body electric guitar has become an integral part of the guitar landscape. Originally conceived in the spirit of the LP Junior to re-contour the weakening LP style, the SG style solid body guitar was ahead of its time.

SG Style Design

The SG style guitar features a solid flat top mahogany body with double cutaway and contoured body edges for better ergonomics. Jazz guitarist Lester Polsfuss didn’t want to be associated with this avant-garde double cutaway design, unknowingly giving rise to another legendary guitar on the stage of rock history.

Legendary Players

Legends such as Robby Krieger, Tony Iommi, Pete Townshend, Angus Young, and Carlos Santana have all played this modern classic in various designs.
