Light Relic Soul, Boutique Whitfill Feel

Some guitars just look the part. This Whitfill Cousin Paul Light Relic 2-Tone Burst actually feels and sounds like it has miles on the clock in the best possible way. You get that broken in response without the sketchy repairs or vintage price tag.

2-Tone Burst With Real Player Mojo

The light relic treatment is all about vibe and feel, not fake damage. Edges feel gently worn, the finish looks like it has seen a few hundred shows, and you skip that sticky, plastic gloss that fights you under the lights. The 2-tone burst brings classic stage presence that photographs beautifully and looks even better in person.

Cousin Paul Voice: From Clean Chime To Gritty Growl

This Cousin Paul has the kind of voice that lets your hands do the talking. Keep it clean and you get open, articulate tones with plenty of glass and bloom. Push your amp or hit a good overdrive and it answers with focused mids, singing sustain, and enough cut to stay present in a busy mix.

Built For Players, Not Just Collectors

Whitfill builds for people who actually gig, record, and write. The details you notice every time you pick it up are here: a comfortable neck that disappears in your hand, smooth fretwork that keeps bends in tune, and hardware that stays locked in through whole sets. It feels like a trusted tool, not a fragile museum piece.

Dials In Fast And Stays Out Of Your Way

Plug in, set your basic sound, and this guitar does the rest. It reacts to your touch, cleans up with the volume knob, and loves everything from transparent drives to big ambient boards. Whether you live on edge of breakup or chase saturated leads, it keeps the response direct and musical.

Ready To Ship From Our Evansville Shop

This specific Whitfill Cousin Paul Light Relic 2-Tone Burst is here in our Evansville, Indiana shop, fully inspected and dialed in with our Player-Perfect setup. It ships fast, safely packed, and ready to make some noise the minute you open the case.

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

Real talk, the Whitfill Cousin Paul feels like a guitar that has already earned its keep. Instead of a stiff, straight-off-the-line feel, you get a responsive, broken in instrument that reacts to your touch. The light relic work, careful fretwork, and attention to player details make it feel like a trusted tool, not just another factory piece.

Light relic means subtle, tasteful aging that focuses on feel and vibe more than heavy visual wear. You will see gentle checking and edge wear that makes it feel lived in, but nothing over the top or distracting. The big win is how it feels in your hands: no sticky gloss, no fighting the finish, just an easy, broken in response from day one.

Honestly, it does both really well. On stage, the 2-tone burst and relic work look killer under lights, and the guitar stays responsive and stable through whole sets. In the studio, it has the kind of articulate, controllable tone engineers love, so it sits in a mix without a fight and responds beautifully to different amps and pedals.

If you already have a classic T or S style covered, the Cousin Paul is a great way to add a different flavor without losing familiarity. It keeps that clear, touch responsive feel players love, but brings its own voice and attitude to the table. It will give you new shades of clean, crunch, and lead tones that complement what you already own instead of duplicating it.

Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.

This guitar is covered by our 72-Hour Love-It Guarantee. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.

If you order before 3 PM CST on a weekday, it ships the same day. We’ll get it into your hands fast with free, insured 2-3 day shipping.

Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.

Player-Perfect™ Setups

Every guitar we sell is dialed in by seasoned musicians. We obsess over the details—perfect intonation, immaculate fretwork, and ideal action—so your guitar is ready to rip right out of the case. No exceptions.

Advice From Real Players

Call us and you get a fellow musician, not a script. We'll help you compare neck profiles, talk tone, and find the right guitar for you—even if it's not this one. Our reputation is built on honest conversation.
