Description
What makes this guitar special? This guitar has a lot of character in both tone and look. The carved maple top has excellent movement in its figuring that expresses beautifully under its Sunburst finish. The neck shows similarly excellent birdseye figuring with dots extending the full length of the neck in groups between the maple swirls. Scraped binding adds a nice visual frame to the dark edges of the Sunburst finish and compliments the neck and headstock color. The pickups sound great in all 5 positions, with more rounded and mellow single-coils in the neck and middle and a hotter, brighter humbucker in the bridge. Final touches like abalone inlays, locking tuners, and a roller nut cap this excellent build and provide players both visual style and excellent stability simultaneously.
Condition: This guitar is in very good condition overall. It does possess various scratches and a few small dings and dents, but largely remains very clean and still looks fantastic. The frets show only light wear and still have a lot of life left in them. The neck is straight and the truss rod functions as it should.

Neck: Medium round C shape maple neck with satin finish and rosewood fingerboard with abalone dot inlays. 1 11/16” roller nut. Sperzel locking tuning machines.
Electronics: Fender “Fat ‘50s” single-coil in the neck and middle. Seymour Duncan ’59 Trembucker in the bridge. 5-way pickup selector. 1 x volume, 1 x tone control.

Playability/Sound: Between the satin finish and comfortable C shape, this guitar’s neck is extremely easy to move around. The pickups sound great in all 5 positions, with more round and mellow single-coils in the neck and middle, and a hotter, brighter humbucker in the bridge.
