Shabat Lion - Fiesta Red #471

Shabat Lion

The Altitude Summary

A stunning blend of classic style and boutique craftsmanship, this Shabat Lion delivers the timeless vibe of a vintage T-style with the elevated feel only Avi Shabat can offer. With its light factory relic and 4A-5A flamed roasted maple neck, this one nails the look and feel of a well-loved road warrior, but plays like a dream fresh off the bench. The 7.4-pound weight hits that sweet spot—comfortable for long sets without sacrificing resonance. The C-shaped neck with compound radius (9.5" to 12") offers silky smooth movement across the board, and the build quality is everything you'd expect from Shabat. Brand new with light aging, no fret wear, and no surprises—just pure tone and feel.

Twang Authority, Boutique Edition

Lollar T-style pickups deliver the unmistakable snap and bite of a classic Tele, but with added nuance and clarity. Whether you're chasing Bakersfield shimmer or bluesy grit, these hand-wound single-coils are the secret sauce. Paired with quality electronics and vintage-style controls, this Lion covers the tonal map with confidence.

Feel the Flame

The neck alone is a work of art—a stunning 4A-5A flamed roasted maple piece that feels as good as it looks. Its satin finish and well-contoured C profile invite hours of play, while the compound radius ensures low-action comfort with zero choking. Classic vibe, modern performance.

Vintage Looks, Modern Touches

The Fiesta Red finish is beautifully reliced, with tasteful checking and wear that evoke decades of gigs without overdoing it. The Gotoh "In-Tune" vintage-style ashtray bridge keeps the vintage vibe intact while improving intonation and feel. It’s form and function in perfect harmony.

Built to Sing

Every detail here was chosen for tone, playability, and timeless appeal—from the expertly selected tonewoods to the no-compromise hardware. Shabat’s build philosophy shines through in every note.
