Playability/Sound: This is a fine example of a natural finish X-80 Skylark as many came in opaque colors and the natural finish models are rarer. The maple neck and body produce great sustain and transfer of vibration and sound. The DiMarzio pickups provide tons of output and clean up beautifully with the volume control rolled back. The neck is exceptionally comfortable and suitable for any playing style.
Case: Includes original hardshell case. Vibrato arm is included in the case.
