The rare Dwight model was made for Sonny Shields Music of St Louis & is essentially a Coronet finished in classic Cherry, featuring one P-90 bridge pickup. This particular model is a dynamite player with superb tone, feel & exceptionally resonant! Professionally set up & ready to play straight out of the case.

Neck: Slender profile mahogany neck with cream side-dots. Dark rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl dot inlays. Original frets show a little bit of wear, but have tons of life in them. Batwing headstock with Kluson Deluxe strip tuners & Dwight truss rod cover. 1 9/16" nut width; 24 3/4" scale length. Neck is straight & truss rod works perfectly.
