Description
What makes this guitar special: Highly-refined controls and great inherent tone make this guitar more than worth its weight. The Roland COSM system is really tailor-made for players who need more than a basic EQ setup for their amplified sound. It not only provides a thorough 7-band EQ to easily dial everything in, but also offers two other programmable presets for switching on the fly through the handy “Variation” button. If that’s not enough, it also includes a built-in tuner, reverb that can be dialed in by hitting the “effect” button and using the 4-way button and an easy interface to add more or less to the dry signal, and a feedback destroyer for pesky frequencies. Its inherent sound is just as good though, as it provides players a perfectly compressed low end, robust and meaty midrange, and clean chime in the upper registers. On top of all that, it was built with gorgeous cuts of wood, it is super clean for a used guitar, comes with its original hardshell case, and also comes with a professional setup so it plays great top to bottom right out of the case.
Condition: This guitar is in excellent condition overall. It shows very few signs of wear outside of a few small dings and light surface scratches, but is otherwise in fantastic shape for a used guitar. The frets show only very light wear and still have a full lifetime of playing left in them. The neck is comfortable and the truss rod functions as it should.
Body: Single cutaway dreadnought body with three-piece back of solid ovangkol and sold East Indian rosewood, solid ovangkol sides, and a solid Sitka spruce top in Natural finish. Single-ply back binding and multi-ply top binding. Three-ring rosette with herringbone center ring. Red tortoiseshell teardrop pickguard. Micarta bridge with 16” compensated tusq saddle and white plastic bridge pins with black dots.
Neck: Modified low oval neck and bound micarta fingerboard with large dot inlays. Sealed chrome tuning machines. 1 11/16” nut. 25.5” scale length. .79” deep at the 1st fret and 1.04” deep at the 12th.
Electronics: Roland COSM preamp with under-saddle transducer. 1 x body. 1 x volume control. 1 x anti-feedback, 1 x light, 1 x effect, 1 x variation, 1 x tuner, and 1 x 4-way eq/edit button.
Weight: 5 lbs 3.5 oz
Playability/Sound: The satin finish and low oval profile make for an easily playable neck most players will have no trouble moving around. The body produces a robust midrange that is perfectly centered by a smooth, compressed low end and clean chime in the top end, providing it a well-rounded response.
Case: Includes original hardshell case.
