What makes this guitar special: 100% original & very clean. Recently acquired from the original owner who took excellent care of the guitar. The gold hardware against the black finish looks really sharp & gives the guitar a real classic appearance. Killer sounding humbuckers with warm, rich tone & sustain that seems to last for days. Professionally set up by Cream City Music so it plays & sounds fantastic!
