Sound Pure's Take

Weight: 6.95 lbs. 

Condition: Used, Very Good - Wear consistent with relicing process

No beating around the bush on this one, this Nash S-57 is a stunner. Everything about this guitar just exudes that classic vintage vibe and mojo you'd want in your dream S-style guitar. The smooth body contours and era-appropriate aging make this guitar sexy and sophisticated all at the same time. The aesthetic appeal of the worn down neck and beaten up body makes you think this beauty has been a player's best friend for a few years already. The Fralin pickups are a perfect match for the Ash body - bright bite and a nice snappy low-end complimented by some airy spank that seems to come alive when plugged up. Whether you're looking for your at-home companion to play for hours on the couch or your trusty and reliable go-to gigging guitar, this Nash is the perfect fit. And it's not a bad thing when your dream guitar looks as good as it sounds!
