Description
What makes this guitar special: If you’re looking for the look and sound of a traditional V but want something a bit lighter in weight and less expensive, this is the perfect guitar. The pickups sound fantastic in all three positions from the full-bodied warmth of the neck, to the chunk and definition of the middle, to the bite and chime of the bridge, all of which can be fattened up or thinned out thanks to the bass contour control. The body is nice and light and at just under six and a half pounds, provides excellent balance with the neck. The neck itself is easy and comfortable with a shape that will be accessible and familiar to a wide variety of players. Even with the impact scar, it still looks incredibly clean all-around and still makes a great player.
Condition: This guitar is in good condition overall. It possesses one major impact crack that has mostly just gone through the area that was routed for the electronics, but is still stable and shows very little, if any, movement, making it more an aesthetic flaw than a structural one, and is still perfectly playable. It has a few other small dings, dents, and light scratches, but largely remains very clean and still plays and sounds great. The frets show very little wear, if any, and still have a full lifetime of playing left in them. The neck is comfortable and the truss rod is functioning.
Body: Korina “V” body in Vintage Clear. Chrome tune-o-matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece. Knurled chrome control knobs. 3-ply black pickguard.

Playability/Sound: The neck on this guitar is easy and comfortable with a familiar rounded C shape that many players will know. The pickups sound fantastic in all three positions with a monstrous neck response that is full and warm, the middle position is perfectly chunky with top end definition, and the bridge has great chime and bite, all of which can be fattened up or thinned out with the bass control.
