Humbucker power
Equipped with a pair of chrome-covered humbuckers, the Speedway delivers rich, punchy output with excellent articulation. The bridge pickup is tight and focused, perfect for driving riffs and cutting rhythm tones, while the neck pickup offers a smooth, full-bodied response ideal for expressive leads. With a three-way toggle switch, dual volume controls, and a master tone, you’ll have complete control over your sound.
Superb hardware
Play with confidence. The array of high-quality hardware adorning this guitar gives it total reliability. Chrome locking tuners keep your strings firmly in place, while the GraphTech NuBone nut helps maintain smooth tuning performance and consistent feel. The Tune-O-Matic bridge and stoptail setup provides a classic playing response, with excellent sustain and a solid, familiar feel under the picking hand.
Finished with a white pearloid scratchplate to protect the body and complement the Blue Suede finish, the Speedway delivers both standout style and dependable performance for modern musicians.
Pure playability
Built with performance in mind, the smooth “C” shaped maple neck fits naturally in the hand, making fast runs and intricate chord work effortless. The set neck construction enhances sustain while providing excellent upper fret access, so solos feel unrestricted. Topped with a thermally treated maple fretboard, the Speedway delivers added brightness and a slick playing surface across all 22 medium jumbo frets.
Built to stand out
The Blue Suede finish is complemented by pearloid inlaid Speedway racing stripes, double white and pearloid binding, and chrome hardware for a bold, premium aesthetic. From stage lights to studio sessions, this is a guitar that commands attention.
Protective hard case included
This bundle includes the Hartwood Fifty6 / Speedway Series Electric Guitar Hard Case, purpose-built to fit Hartwood’s models. Its rugged rectangular construction makes it ideal for storage and touring, while the green tolex exterior, white piping, and embroidered Hartwood logo provide a premium finish.
Inside, black plush lining and 5mm padding across the base help protect your guitar from knocks and scratches. An integrated accessory compartment beneath the neck support offers convenient storage for strings, capos, tuners, and other essentials.
