Description
What makes this guitar special: This 1417 is a great player, with a cool vintage look and great tone to match. It is in completely original condition, with a great vibe and stellar playability. The lipstick pickup provides that classic Silvertone sound, with lots of warmth and bite. And with a professional setup from Cream City Music included, you can be sure it will arrive ready to play.
Cosmetic condition: Used but not abused with plenty of real deal wear throughout. There are various scratches, dents, dings, nicks, chips, and scuffs present, with areas of finish wear throughout, and plenty of finish checking. Much of the finish on the back of the neck has worn away with time, and there is visible oxidation on the hardware.
Body: Semi hollow poplar centered body with masonite top and back. The pickguard is in excellent condition with one small crack near the top mounting screw, but no lifting. Stainless steel bridge with rosewood saddle.

Neck is straight and plays wonderfully up and down the fretboard.
