This example appears to feature a pancake-style body construction and retains its original vintage character throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar weighs approximately 9lb 5oz and has recently been checked over, set up and restrung. It plays very well with a comfortable action and plenty of life left in it. The three humbuckers offer a wide range of tones, from warm vintage cleans through to thick classic rock sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition is good for its age but this is very much a player’s vintage guitar rather than a collector-grade case queen. The finish shows plenty of light scratches, swirl marks and general cosmetic wear throughout, with various dings and marks consistent with over four decades of use. The hardware has tarnished and aged naturally, adding to the guitar’s vintage appearance.
