Description
Derived from a design dating back to 1957, the 381/12V69 is known for its hand-carved arch top and back. Employing only premium 'charactered' Maple, the 381V69 has a fully bound body with 'checked' binding and extreme double cutaways, along with a bound crescent sound hole to complete this exquisite guitar. Since discontinued, these models have ascended in value-and a super clean example like this doesn't come along all that often.
