THE CARIBOU SOMEHOW STILL INDUCES ASSOCIATIONS OF CALIFORNIAN SURFBOARDS AND METER-HIGH PACIFIC WAVES, ALTHOUGH IT IS USABLE FOR MANY DIFFERENT STYLES - LIKE ALL OF OUR GUITARS ARE.
This year we have revised the Caribou optically and technically. It's now equipped with our proven pickup combination, comprising of the P-90 Domino in the neck position and the Grand Vintage humbucker at the bridge. The pickguard is black and for the body finish you may now also choose a deep high-gloss black.

They still look like the guitars that Nazis would be playing had they won WWII. The style wreaks of the era and look of the Reich's aesthetic.

I dig the profile and the features, but I don't care for the hardware or the pickguard. Simplify, maple board, and drop in Strat vibrato on there and I'd be interested...at 1/3 the current asking price.
