Description

100% original & a superb player with a clear, crisp tone & sweet high end ring. The nicely rounded neck is super comfy to play & allows for hours of enjoyment. The neck is straight & plays great up & down the fretboard. Professionally set up by our luthier with fresh strings & low action, so it's ready to play straight out of the case!

Cosmetic Condition: Good honest play wear with that cool, true vintage look - various nicks, chips, dents & dings; surface scratches & weather checking. A gorgeous look with a beautiful patina.

Neck: Rounded mahogany neck with nicely aged cream binding & tortoise side-dots. Brazilian rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl trapezoid inlays. Frets are in great shape with hardly any wear. Kluson Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons. 1 11/16" nut width; 24 3/4" scale length. Neck is straight & truss rod works fine.

Body: Double-bound, slope shoulder dreadnought with spruce top finished in 3-tone sunburst. Rosewood bridge with adjustable saddle. There's a tiny bit of bridge lift, but it's not too bad & doesn't affect playability. Tortoise pickguard & multi-ring rosette. Mahogany back & sides & the guitar weighs 5 lbs 3.6 oz.

Pickup: P-90 single coil pickup - 7.83K ohms. Master volume & tone tone controls with gold "top hat" knobs. All electronics are in perfect working condition.

Case: Original hardshell case included.
