The Outlaw
This is
McGrath Guitars #3,. It is influenced by the classic T design, but we have
smoothed and contoured every element to create a more
modern-feeling, comfortable guitar.
Electronics and Controls
The sophisticated electronics on The Outlaw were designed by San Diego session musician, Ben Zinn. It features three Lollar pickups in a Nashville setup. The bridge pickup was custom-wound to have the polarity needed to achieve a classic Stratocaster sound in 3rd position, and the signature funk and quack in 2nd and 4th position.
The guitar features a 5-way selector and a blend knob that allows you to seamlessly mix in the neck pickup with the bridge pickup. This means you can blend in the neck pickup in both the bridge and middle positions, all 3 pickups in position 2 — perfect for opening expanded tonal options or smoothing out the bite from the bridge position.
The third knob is a
Danny Gatton-style “Wah” tone modification. The control layout is:
Volume nearest the bridge, then the
Blend, followed by the
Wah Tone. We intentionally added a larger gap between the blend and tone knobs to allow your pinky finger enough room for those signature Wah swells.
We are incredibly proud of this guitar. There is more to come, including some models with a more standard T Style electronics layout.
