Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good (considerable finish checking, some deeper dings/scars visible, scratching, play wear)
Every now and again we'll receive a guitar that completely blows our minds and reminds us just why we fell in love with guitars. This is one of those guitars! Unplugged, we were floored by the playability, the flatwound strings feel so good! The real magic came after we plugged it in. The neck pickup, with the tone at around half, produced the warmest, smoothest tones we've heard in quite a while. The bridge pickup has a brightness that's not in the least bit harsh. This guitar is practically begging for some hip octave lines!
This is a true piece of history, color me impressed!
