Body: Fully-hollow archtop guitar with 3 ply binding on the spruce top andmaple back and sides.
Neck: The neck is huge, some might call it a “baseball bat” neck andwe would agree. It is very comfortable and has some finish worn offthe back and sides making it feel very smooth. The rosewoodfingerboard is bound and has been re-fretted with larger frets, italso has very unique split inlays. It has a 1 5/8” nut width and25.9” scale length.

Cosmetics: This guitar is in great vintage shape save for the heel-cap beingmissing and a slight gap in the heel. There’s plenty of finishchecking all over the body and neck, lots of patches of finishmissing all around the guitar, small nicks and dings can be found andthere is a large patch of finish played off the top where thepickguard once sat. There are holes in the back of the headstockwhere the old tuners sat, holes where the pickguard was once mountedand there are numbers carved into the headstock and tailpiece.
Playability: Our in-house guitar tech has just inspected, setup and restrungthis guitar with a new set of 10s. The neck is straight and theaction has been setup low and comfortable.
