So we did! Chuck Levin’s has brought everyone to the table with the Watermelon King Series, sharing the sweetest collection of acoustic and electric guitars you’ve ever seen, or tasted!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNot wanting to leave anybody out, we invited Gibson’s Murphy Lab, Fender’s Custom Shop, and Taylor Guitars to the table, challenging each of them to dream up their own flavor of watermelon red. The end result is a mouth-watering array of 18 different guitars and basses - everything from Les Paul to Trini Lopez and Stratocasters to Jazzmasters! Our guitar shop also added custom color-coordinated bridge pins to the Taylor 414ce as a fun little flourish!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe name for this exciting collection came from a newspaper clipping featuring a photo of Marge Levin and her father, Al Lipshultz. Al had presented a mammoth watermelon to his local farmer’s market, earning him the title of “Watermelon King.” The color, Al’s fun title, and the idea of bringing our friends to the table to share something sweet was the inspiration we needed!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe love that every instrument in this collection is a bit different - the color being uniquely interpreted by the craftspeople involved. Each instrument will include a unique Watermelon King Series COA, some fun swag, and of course the warm vibes that come with sharing all the good things with friends and family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Watermelon King Series is available exclusively at Chuck Levin’s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Shape: ES-335\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Material: 3-Ply Maple\/Poplar\/Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenterblock: Solid Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBinding: 1-Ply Royalite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight Relief: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Nitrocellulose Lacquer (Gloss)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Solid Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfile: Authentic '64 Medium C-Shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 24.75\" \/ 628.65mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Material: Dark Rosewood, Hide Glue Fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: 12\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber Of Frets: 22\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets: Authentic Reissue Medium-Jumbo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Material: Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width: 1.69\" \/ 42.85mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlays: Split Diamond Cellulose Nitrate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoint: Long Tenon, Hide Glue Fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardware\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuner Plating: Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: ABR-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaddle Material: Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTailpiece: Single Diamond Trapeze w\/ Trini Lopez Insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuning Machines: Kluson Single Line Strip w\/ Metal Buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: Black 5-Ply Wide Bevel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTruss Rod: Authentic 1950s No-Tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl Knobs: Black Top Hats w\/ Silver Inserts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitch Tip: Cream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrap Buttons: Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting Rings: Black M69 Medium \u0026amp; Tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickup Covers: Authentic Profile Nickel Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElectronics\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup: Custombucker Alnico III (Unpotted)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup: Custombucker Alnico III (Unpotted)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Volume\/2 Tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCTS 500K Audio Taper Potentiometers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaper-in-Oil Capacitors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickup Selector: 3-Way Switchcraft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Jack: Switchcraft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMiscellaneous\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings Gauge: .010, .013, .017, .026, .036, .046\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase: GWW Trini Lopez Case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\nManufacturer: Gibson\u003cbr\u003eModel: 64ESTLM2M20134\u003cbr\u003eSKU: I716009-N-140242-1-WHXD\u003cbr\u003eUPC: 711106119342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe are Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1958, Chuck Levin’s Washington Music Center has been the trusted destination for musicians and audio professionals across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
