NAMM 2023: British brand Rapier has unveiled a new four-pickup electric guitar design, dubbed the Rapier 44.
The original Rapier was produced by UK firm Watkins Electric Music (aka WEM, producers of the iconic CopiCat echo) in the 1960s before being discontinued. The design was then reprised by UK designer Alan Entwistle under the newly-formed Rapier brand in late 2021, as the Rapier 33.
