Description
What makes this guitar special? This guitar has a bright and colorful aesthetic with great tone and playability. The abalone inlays are the most prominent feature of this guitar visually, as they adorn just about every aspect from the headstock to the body binding. The gorgeous flame top is a great complement in terms of both color and movement, and further proves to emphasize its visual appeal with a matching headstock, all of which comes in a lustrous See Thru Blue finish. For a guitar of this style, the body is exceptionally light at just over 7 pounds and creates great balance between the body and neck, so playing sitting and standing are equally easy. The neck sports a medium to slim profile and a thinner nut width, making it perfect for players who enjoy having an extended reach over the board, or simply have small hands. The pickups are full and hot, but still have enough range between the two to provide a nice tonal difference for rhythm and solos. In addition, with the setup our techs have given it, this guitar plays beautifully head to toe, making it a solid guitar all-around.
Condition: This guitar is in excellent condition overall. It only has small dings and dents throughout the body and neck, as well as some light surface scratches, but largely remains very clean and looks fantastic. The frets show very little wear and still have a full lifetime of playing left in them. The neck is comfortable and the truss rod is functioning.

Playability/Sound: The smaller neck on this guitar is marvelously easy to play, especially for players with smaller hands or prefer having a bit of extra reach all around. The pickups are as hot and chunky as you’d imagine EMG humbuckers to be.
