Description

What makes this guitar special: An awesome player with an ultra cool vibe. Loaded with a pair of dynamite sounding DiMarzio double creams, this gorgeous E2 kicks out screaming tone & sustain that lasts for days. Gorgeous flame figuring in the body & a silky smooth neck that plays great anywhere on the fretboard. Professionally inspected & set up so she's ready for action straight out of the case.

Cosmetic Condition: Used, but not abused, with good honest play wear - various nicks, chips, dents & dings; scratches & some finish wear. The gold hardware has tarnished in certain areas & the bridge shows a lot of pitting, but is fully functional. Overall the guitar has a great look to it with a nice patina.

Neck: Maple neck with cream side-dots. Ebony fingerboard with mother of pearl dot inlays. Frets show some wear, but have plenty of life in them. Schaller tuners are in perfect working condition. 1 11/16" nut width; 24 3/4" scale length. Neck is straight & truss rod works fine.

Body: Contoured, solid maple body with 5-ply black pickguard. Brass stopbar tailpiece & Tune-O-Matic bridge. Guitar weighs 10.4 lbs.

Electronics: Unoriginal DiMarzio humbuckers with black bezels. Bridge - 7.71K ohms; Neck - 8.43K ohms. Dual volume & master tone controls with gold speed knobs; 3-way toggle. The middle pot is a DiMarzio, but the other two are original & date to '79. All electronics are in perfect working condition.

Case: Original hardshell case included.
