Shabat Cheetah NAMM 2026 NOS Heavy Relic Black
 
Somehow this guitar manages to be both NOS and look like it clawed its way out of a collapsing Sunset Strip rehearsal studio in 1988 carrying a half-empty bottle of Jack and unpaid parking tickets. The relic work on this NAMM 2026 Shabat Cheetah is absolutely unhinged in the best possible way. Heavy aged black nitro over mahogany with exposed wood everywhere it matters, matching headstock and neck, ebony board, Floyd Rose, and enough attitude to make your clean channel file a restraining order.
 
Built for The Guitar Rescue and shown at NAMM 2026, this USA-made monster pairs a mahogany body with a hard maple neck, ebony fretboard, stainless Jescar 55090-S frets, and a fast Tin Hang neck carve that sits comfortably between “precision instrument” and “dangerous life choice.” The Kloppmann Sinners & Saints HH set absolutely rips, delivering tight articulate gain tones with clarity and punch for days while still cleaning up surprisingly well when you back the volume down.
 
The 12”-16” compound radius, Floyd Rose tremolo, locking tuners, and Tusq nut make this thing feel ridiculously stable and modern, while the heavy relic keeps it from feeling overly polished or precious. This is the kind of guitar that makes you immediately start playing worse things louder.
 
Condition is NOS/Mint. Includes original hard shell case and original spec sheet.

This thing feels like a super strat designed by someone who thinks subtlety is a personal weakness.
