Spada Deluxe
The top of Morifone's Spada line — a mahogany solid-body electric with a bound figured-maple top, Lollar pickups, and a Resomax Tune-o-Matic bridge, closer in look and tone to the flagship Quarzo.
About this guitar
The Spada Deluxe upgrades the Speciale platform with a bound 1/4” figured maple top over the mahogany body, opening up more color/binding combinations, plus a pair (or trio) of Lollar-family pickups and a Resomax Tune-o-Matic bridge — bringing it closer to the Quarzo’s tone and looks in a more affordable package. It keeps the mahogany set-neck construction, Aileron headstock, and triple-pickguard layout of the Speciale, with push-push coil-splitting on the master tone control. Hand-built to order at Morifone’s Boucherville, Quebec workshop.
