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.  

From Eastman Guitars

Carved Spruce top, laminated back and sides with Ebony bridge, tailpiece, pickguard and fretboard. Vintage tone with superior midrange and volume. Classic Venetian cutaway, mounted humbucking pickup design.
