Description

What makes this guitar special:  A spectacular, true vintage Thinline with a super cool vibe!  The guitar has that wonderful acoustic resonance we all look for in a semi-hollow body electric & the pair of Wide Range humbuckers deliver an absolutely gorgeous, warm, rich tone that seems to sustain for days.  Visually the guitar is a real beauty - perfectly aged with that nice weathered look vintage players love to see in an old guitar.  The pro refret makes it a dynamite player, guaranteed to cut it on stage or in the studio.  Pro set up included so she's ready to go straight out of the case.

Cosmetic Condition:  A true vintage beauty with good, honest play wear - various nicks, chips, dents & dings; surface scratches, weather checking & finish wear.  The pickguard has shrunk a bit with one small crack near one of the screws.  There's also a bit of bubbling or chipping in the guard near the volume knob from years of use.  The natural finish has aged marvelously over the years, turning into a beautiful golden caramel color.  Overall the guitar has a great look to it with a gorgeous patina.

Neck:  Semi-chunky maple neck with skunk stripe & black dot inlays.  The guitar had already been refretted with slightly bigger frets when we acquired it.  It's a pro job & the frets are in great shape with no wear.  Bullet truss rod & double string trees. Headstock decals are also in great shape with no bits missing.  Original F tuners are in perfect working condition.  1 5/8" nut width; 25 1/2" scale length.  Neck is straight & truss rod is in perfect working condition.  Neck stamp reads 3 JAN 73 B.

Body:  Semi-hollow ash body with single F-hole.  String-thru bridge with adjustable saddles & original 3-ply pearloid pickguard.  Guitar weighs 8 lbs 7 oz.

Pickups:  Original Fender Wide Range humbuckers.  Bridge 10.60K ohms; Neck - 9.77K ohms.  Master volume & tone controls with unoriginal knurled knobs; 3-way selector switch.  Original pots with one dating to '72.  All electronics are in perfect working condition.

Case:  Original hardshell case included.  Exit The King is spray painted on the outside of the case.
