Description
What makes this guitar special: Dynamite playability and classic tonal offerings make this beauty the perfect addition to any lineup. The combination of a SuperTron in the neck position and FilterTron in the bridge position allows for a dynamic range of usable tones, especially in tandem with the Bigsby tailpiece. Professionally inspected and setup by our top-notch in house luthiers, it will arrive ready to play.
Cosmetic condition: Great playing shape, with some good honest wear. There are various scratches, dents, dings, nicks, chips, and scuffs present, along with visible binding shrinkage and browning around the body (a handful of these areas have been repaired). The hardware shows some visible tarnishing and oxidation, and there is a chip on the top edge of the pickguard. The mute pads have dried out with time, but the mechanisms function normally. Overall, this one has a great look to it, with a beautiful patina.
