Description

Cosmetic Condition:Gorgeous guitar with some pretty bird’s eye figuring in the top.There is a 2 pressed into the back of the headstock, indicating it was a factory second.Exactly why is hard to tell, but perhaps it’s due to the slight inconsistency of the maple figuring in the top & the way the burst finish looks lighter in certain sections.At any rate, there are no issues with the guitar’s sound or playability; in fact it sounds amazing, with a beautiful resonant tone.It’s a true vintage piece of course, so there are various minor nicks, chips, dents & dings; surface scratches & finish checking.Overall the guitar has a great look to it with a gorgeous patina.

Neck:Chunky mahogany neck with nicely aged cream binding & tortoise side-dots.Brazilian rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl dot inlays.Original frets are in great shape with hardly any wear.Unoriginal tuners in perfect working condition.1 11/16″ nut width; 24 3/4″ scale length.Neck is straight & truss rod works fine.

Body:Double-bound, single Florentine cutaway, hollow maple body with dual F-holes.Long trapeze tailpiece with wrap-around bridge; nickel hardware.Unoriginal 5-ply black pickguard.Guitar weighs 5 lbs 10 oz.

Pickup:Original P-90 single coil – 7.70K ohms.Master volume & tone controls with original gold “top hat” knobs.All electronics are in perfect working condition.

Playability / Sound:Nice, low action – neck plays great & is very comfortable.Warm, rich tone with nice acoustic resonance.

Case:Unoriginal vintage chipboard case included.
