Description
What makes this guitar special: A rare lefty from the ‘70s, with an awesome tone and a very cool vintage vibe. The northern ash body showcases tons of lovely variegation, while the headstock sports some beautiful finish checking. The maple fingerboard in tandem with the original gray-bottoms offers a variety of tones from crisp highs in the bridge to a buttery midrange in the neck, and everything in between. Professionally setup by the experts at Cream City Music, this beauty will arrive ready to play right out of the case.
Cosmetic condition: Great shape for its age, with some standard wear consistent with age. Various scratches, dents, dings, nicks, chips, and scuffs throughout, with areas of weather checking throughout. The top of the guitar shows a few areas where the clear coat has been touched up, and the original pickup covers have been replaced. Frets show wear consistent with age (most notably near the first position), but still have a good amount of life left in them. Original backplate is not included.
Body: Solid ash body in natural finish with string through six screw tremolo bridge and 3-ply white pickguard.

Neck: C-shaped maple neck with black side dots and black dot inlays. 1 11/16” nut width, 25 1/2" scale length. Black headstock decals and original F-stamped tuners in perfect working condition. Fingerboard edges show some wear, as does the fingerboard itself, but all notes ring clear and play comfortably. Frets are worn but still have some life left in them. Neck is straight and truss rod is functional.

Volume knob is unoriginal, as is the potentiometer, which dates to ’96. Tone pots and knobs are original and date to ’78. All electronics have been tested and function great.
