The “Tiger” Bellecaster
Some guitars just play music. This one roars.
The Tiger Bellecaster is built for LSU faithful who want classic T-style snap with serious Bayou attitude. Solid mahogany body wears a deep, sparkling Royal Purple finish with heavy relic lacquer that’s been worked to look and feel battle-worn — just like the Tigers on a Saturday in Death Valley. Aged gold hardware shines against the custom tooled leather pickguard featuring bold orange-and-black tiger stripes, turning heads and turning up the pride every time you sling it on.
The roasted maple neck (medium C profile) with a smooth 9.5” radius rosewood fingerboard, white dots, and lightly rolled edges plays fast and comfortable, while the satin oil finish feels broken-in from the first note.
Under the hood, a pair of 9 Point Custom “Southern Twang” single coils deliver punchy chime, articulate snap, and that signature twang with real versatility thanks to the 6-way switch. Full vintage-spec wiring (copper shielded, CTS pots, Orange drop capacitor, Puretone jack, cloth wire) keeps everything pure, and the Badass T1 bridge with gold hardware locks it down solid.
At 11 lbs, this beast has serious presence and balances beautifully — ready to fight for every gig or tailgate.
If you bleed purple and gold and want a Bellecaster that screams LSU spirit with killer tone and playability, The Tiger is your new go-to.
