Seller's description

These are rare to come by, and this one is in great condition. It’s had a couple of spots of finish touch-up - one from a back crack repair, and the other around the neck heel from a previous neck reset. The bridge plate has been replaced, as well as a handful of reglued braces. However, the integrity of the guitar is still very much there, and the sound is undeniable. It plays beautifully, with plenty of life left in the frets and a super comfy, fuller neck. Not to mention, it’s got a stinger! Includes non-original hardshell case.
