Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
Killer! You can't beat the 503 for a jazz box that will take you many, many miles in the shed and still hold up as a working-class instrument on the stage. A carved spruce top lends the instrument a warm, dark response while the laminate Maple b/s and compact construction ensure a minimum of unwanted feedback when you're plugged in.
