Description

Handcarved solid spruce top, maple neck, slightly figured maple back and sides with Brazilian rosewood fingerboard.

New trapeze tailpiece; Kluson Deluxe "single bump" keystone tuners; beveled 5-ply pickguard with floating McCarty P-90 pickup. Pickguard was cracked and repaired. Screw-on amphenol jack under pickguard, (matching cable is included); original compensated Brazilian rosewood bridge.

Noticeable finish wear on the back of the neck. Very slight fret wear. Obviously played a lot, but not abused. The repaired pickguard is understandable when the cable needs to be unscrewed to be removed. This guitar is very light and lively. Acoustically it is loud yet balanced

.012s feel like .010s.

Original hard case is quite worn.
