2019 B&G Step Sister Semi-Hollow Private Build ~ Ocean Blue Metallic

You are looking at a B&G Step Sister Private Build in an Ocean Blue Metallic gloss finish — the electric guitar equivalent of showing up fashionably late, saying almost nothing, and still being the most interesting thing in the room. No relic cosplay. No vintage excuses. No “inspired by” nonsense. Just an incredible semi-hollow, boutique-built statement piece that knows exactly what it is and absolutely does not care what your other guitars think about it.

That Ocean Blue Metallic finish is outrageous in the best possible way — deep, rich, and elegant, with just enough shimmer to make stage lights work overtime. The maple top is framed with natural maple binding, doubled down with twin f-holes outlined in matching maple purfling, because subtlety is great… but confidence is better. It’s classy, it’s dramatic, and it somehow manages to look expensive even when it’s sitting quietly in a case doing nothing at all.

Unplugged, it’s lively and resonant thanks to the semi-hollow African mahogany body. Plugged in, the B&G hand-wound Alnico II humbuckers deliver warmth, clarity, and just enough attitude to remind you this isn’t a polite jazz box. The flamed maple pickup rings, gold hardware, adjustable bridge, and trapeze tailpiece are all pure Private Build indulgence — topped off with gold open-gear tuners and butterbean buttons that look like they belong on something handmade by people who actually care.

She’s 100% original, freshly strung with 10–46s, and completely uninterested in genre labels.

She’s in excellent condition, with only one minor fingernail surface impression above the upper f-hole — the kind of mark that proves someone once played a chord and immediately realized they needed to respect it. No cracks, no repairs, no mods, no funny business.

Included are the original case, case candy, and the all-important B&G Private Build Certificate, because guitars like this don’t travel without paperwork.

If you’ve been waiting for a semi-hollow, boutique electric that blends art-deco elegance, modern craftsmanship, and unapologetic personality — this is it. Open the case slowly. Some guitars don’t need to say hello. They just wait for you to catch up.

Whoever brings this baby home is going to be STOKED!!
