Description

What makes this guitar special:  Made for only a very short time right at the end of the '70s & into 1980, this rocking Beast sounds great & is tons of fun to play!  Sporting a pair of DiMarzio humbuckers, it features a maple neck bolted onto a solid mahogany body.  Professionally set up by our own master luthier with fresh strings & low action, so it plays & sounds fantastic!

Cosmetic Condition:  Various nicks, chips, dents & dings; surface scratches & some mild finish wear.  Overall the guitar looks great with a nice patina.

Neck:  Rounded, wide profile maple neck with rosewood fingerboard & pearloid dot inlays.  Frets show some light wear, but have plenty of life in them.  Paddle headstock with sealed chrome tuners in perfect working condition.  1 11/16" nut width with zero fret & 24 3/4" scale length.  Neck is straight & truss rod works fine.

Body:  Single-cutaway, solid mahogany body in natural finish.  String-thru bridge with adjustable saddles.  3-ply black pickguard is in great shape with no cracks.  Guitar weighs 7 lbs 4.4 oz.

Pickups:  DiMarzio double cream humbuckers with exposed coils.  Bridge - 11.78K ohms; Neck - 8.32K ohms.  Master volume & tone controls with "G" Arrow knobs & 3-way mini toggle switch.  All electronics are in perfect working condition.

Case:  Original hardshell case included.
