Displayed at NAMM 2026 and presented here in brand new condition, it features a beautifully executed light relic\/aging that feels organic and convincingly broken-in from the first touch. At just 6.46 lbs, the Lion GB’s ultra-light, super responsive build makes it a dream for long sets and extended practice sessions, with effortless balance and a lively acoustic “snap” even before you plug in. There’s no wear beyond the intentional aging, the frets are untouched, and it plays incredibly well with an easy, inspiring feel across the neck. The finish is unique and dynamic under light, and the roasted, flamed neck figuring adds a serious boutique visual punch to match the tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"970\" data-end=\"1020\"\u003eThe Gonzalo Bergara “Blues Machine” Blueprint\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1021\" data-end=\"1504\"\u003eThe Lion GB was designed by Avi Shabat at the request of longtime friend Gonzalo Bergara with one clear goal: create a great blues machine that’s super light and responsive. The foundation is a featherweight sugar pine body—snappy, resonant, and quick to bloom—paired with a vintage-correct 3-saddle bridge for that classic string-to-body transfer and unmistakable attack. The result is a guitar that feels alive in your hands and reacts instantly to dynamics, pick angle, and touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"1505\" data-end=\"1571\"\u003ePickups With Personality: Lollar Charlie Christian + J Street\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1572\" data-end=\"2087\"\u003eThis model’s voice is defined by an unmistakably cool pickup pairing: a fat Lollar Charlie Christian neck pickup matched with a Lollar J Street bridge pickup. The neck position delivers a bold, round, almost horn-like fullness that stays articulate, while the bridge adds bite and clarity without ever getting harsh. Together they create a monster tone that’s genuinely unique—clear but non-piercing on top, with a defined, warm, slightly fuzzy low end and a subtle mid scoop that keeps chords open and leads vocal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"2088\" data-end=\"2129\"\u003eNatural Compression and That “Spank”\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2130\" data-end=\"2533\"\u003eOne of the Lion GB’s signature traits is how it seems to “help” your phrasing. The platform has a touch of natural compression that makes notes feel even and present, with a satisfying rebound that creates that addictive spank. Dig in and it barks; ease up and it turns sweet and chiming—perfect for touch-sensitive blues lines, roots rock grit, and clean rhythm work that still feels three-dimensional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"2534\" data-end=\"2577\"\u003eFeatherweight Comfort, Road-Ready Vibe\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2578\" data-end=\"2955\"\u003eAt 6.46 lbs, this Lion GB is dramatically lighter than most stage guitars, and you feel it immediately—no fighting the instrument, just effortless comfort and a responsive body that resonates against you. Add the tasteful light relic treatment and NAMM 2026 provenance, and you’ve got a guitar that looks like a lifelong companion while being brand new in every functional way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"2956\" data-end=\"2973\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2974\" data-end=\"4113\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e• Shabat Lion GB\u003cbr data-start=\"2995\" data-end=\"2998\"\u003e• Serial: 484\u003cbr data-start=\"3011\" data-end=\"3014\"\u003e• Vintage White finish with light relic\/aging\u003cbr data-start=\"3059\" data-end=\"3062\"\u003e• NAMM 2026 display guitar\u003cbr data-start=\"3088\" data-end=\"3091\"\u003e• Featherweight sugar pine body\u003cbr data-start=\"3122\" data-end=\"3125\"\u003e• 3-saddle vintage-style bridge\u003cbr data-start=\"3156\" data-end=\"3159\"\u003e• Lollar Charlie Christian neck pickup\u003cbr data-start=\"3197\" data-end=\"3200\"\u003e• Lollar J Street bridge pickup\u003cbr data-start=\"3231\" data-end=\"3234\"\u003e• Ultra-light 6.46 lb build\u003cbr data-start=\"3261\" data-end=\"3264\"\u003e• Brand new condition, plays incredibly well\u003cbr data-start=\"3308\" data-end=\"3311\"\u003e• Original case included\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shabat","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51446735929640,"sku":"SHABAT-LION-GB-VW-484","price":3895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/4225\/2328\/files\/shabat_lion_GB_vintage_white_484_1.png?v=1771451126","url":"https:\/\/altitudeguitar.myshopify.com\/products\/shabat-lion-gb-namm-2026-vintage-white-484","provider":"Altitude Guitar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
