Description
A rare model basically made only in the '50s, the CF-100E is a small body acoustic with a Florentine cutaway & fitted with a single coil pickup between the neck & soundhole. This particular example has had some work done to it, so it's more of a player's grade, but still produces a rich, vibrant voice & is super fun to play thanks to a pro set up from the experts here at Cream City Music.
Cosmetic Condition: Various nicks, chips, dents & dings; scratches weather checking & finish wear. The guitar has been refinished & there are a couple of repaired top cracks near the soundhole/pickguard area. The bridge has been reglued & screwed down. Despite its less than stellar appearance, the guitar still has an authentic, vintage charm to it.
Neck: Slender profile mahogany neck with nicely aged white binding & black side-dots. Dark Brazilian rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl trapezoid inlays. Frets show some wear, but have plenty of life in them. Unoriginal strip tuners with white buttons. 1 11/16" nut width; 24 3/4" scale length. Neck is straight & truss rod functions.
Body: Small body acoustic with Florentine cutaway. Solid spruce top in sunburst finish with tortoise pickguard. 3-ply top binding & rosette. Unoriginal rosewood bridge & straight saddle. The maple bridge plate is a replacement. Solid mahogany back & sides with single-ply binding. Guitar weighs 3 lbs 15.5 oz.
Electronics: Original single coil pickup. Master volume & tone controls with unoriginal gold speed knobs. All electronics are in good working condition.
Case: Vintage Gibson hardshell case included.
