Description

What makes this guitar special:  100% original & in great shape for its age.  The natural finish has mellowed beautifully into a golden color.  The neck is pretty skinny & super comfortable to play.  The guitar has a natural, woody acoustic tone, but when plugged in the double humbuckers sound warm & rich.  Professionally set up by our own luthier with fresh strings & low action, so it plays & sounds amazing!

Cosmetic Condition:  Excellent condition overall with light play wear - various minor nicks & dings; surface scratches & mild weather checking.  Overall the guitar has a wonderful look to it with a nice patina.

Neck:  Slender profile mahogany neck with nicely aged cream binding & tortoise side-dots.  Rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl double parallelogram inlays.  Frets are in great shape with hardly any wear & plenty of life in them.  Kluson Deluxe tuners are in perfect working condition.  1 9/16" nut width; 24 3/4" scale length.  Neck is straight & truss rod is in good working condition.

Body:  Florentine cutaway, hollow maple body with dual F-holes.  Chrome trapeze tailpiece & compensated rosewood bridge.  5-ply black pickguard is in great shape with no cracks.  3-ply top binding & single ply back binding.  Guitar weighs 6 lbs 8.2 oz.

Pickups:  Pat No. humbuckers with black bezels.  Bridge - 7.18K ohms; Neck - 7.26K ohms.  Dual volume & tone controls with black "witch hat" knobs; 3-way toggle switch.  All electronics are in good working condition.
