The Reprobate

About this model:

The Reprobate is a more off-quilter design, but one that handles all required duties with the requisite aplomb. With an air and design sensibility coming from the left field, this guitar has won the hearts of the more open-minded Odessa player. Compact and balanced, the Reprobate offers all of the tonal shades you expect from an Odessa. A durable workhorse that works especially well as a baritone (as they all do), or with any other scale-length you’d care to suggest. Discreet contouring and either a raw or powder-coated pickguard set this guitar off perfectly.
