Seen on the world’s biggest stages, the 55-02 delivers an active punch that will make your sound stand out in any mix, with a "best in class" tone for versatility and finesse suited to all playing situations.
35" neck length for better B string tone and tight, deep lows
Equipped with LH3 pickups hand-wound by Lakland and an onboard preamp Also available in Standard and Deluxe models
The LH3 pickups (wound in our Chicago workshop) and the onboard preamp are the same components found in our legendary USA 55-94 series. (Powered by a single 9-volt battery, easily replaceable by removing a simple clip-on battery cover – no screws to lose!) Internal switches allow selection of mid boost/cut frequency.
The neck has the same 35" scale, profile, and specifications as our USA 55-94 series, which has won over many professionals thanks to its excellent feel, string spacing, and especially a B string with tight, punchy clarity that blends perfectly with the other 4 strings.
