Description
100% original & in marvelous condition for being roughly 50 years old. The sunburst finish is still very strong & vibrant, and the back of the body shows off some pretty bird's eye figuring in the maple. The slender profile neck is silky smooth & plays perfectly up & down the fretboard. The Pat No. humbuckers deliver warm, rich tones & offer a truly dynamic voice to the guitar. Professionally inspected & set up by the experts here at Cream City Music, so it's ready for action straight out of the case.
Cosmetic Condition: Wonderful condition for its age & very well cared for over the years, showing signs of only mild play wear - various minor nicks, chips, dents & dings; scratches & light weather checking. No cracks, breaks or repairs. Overall the guitar looks great & shows off a gorgeous patina.
Neck: Slender profile mahogany neck with nicely aged cream binding & tortoise side-dots. Rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl block inlays. Small frets are in good condition with some wear, but plenty of life in them. Kluson Deluxe "double lip" tuners are in perfect working condition. 1 9/16" nut width; 24 3/4" scale length. Neck is straight & truss rod works fine.
