Description

We typically only see Electro models from the '60s, but this ES-16 dates to 1983 - now how cool is that! And what's even cooler is the stunning flame maple figuring in the body - truly exquisite! This 100% original, short scale beauty features one single coil pickup with master volume & tone controls. The 3-way tone switch allows the player to manipulate the tone even further. Professionally set up & ready to play straight out of its original hardshell case.

Cosmetic Condition: Marvelous condition for being nearly 40 years old - various tiny nicks, dents & dings; mild surface scratches. Very clean for the most part with a super cool vibe!

Neck: Nicely rounded maple neck with thick rosewood fingerboard & dot inlays. Frets are in great shape with hardly any wear. Grover Rotomatic tuners work perfectly. 1 5/8" nut width; 21" scale length. Neck is straight & truss rods function fine.

Body: Solid maple body with lots of gorgeous flame figuring throughout. Top-loading tailpiece/plate with adjustable compensated bridge. Single-ply white plexi pickguard and chrome hardware. Guitar weighs 6 1/2 lbs - great weight & very resonant!

Electronics: Hi-Gain single coil with master volume & tone controls. 3-way tone selector switch. All electronics are in perfect working condition.

Case: Original hardshell case included along with Ric polish cloth.
