What We Think

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: The truss rod and bridge were fully adjusted. All of the frets were polished, recrowned and leveled. Some of the frets were coming out of the fretboard, and our luthier reseated them and glued them into place. No further work was required.

Looking for an instrument that truly sings and weeps the blues with soul? This striking black alder beauty isn't just another guitar; it's a sound investment in your musical journey, meticulously crafted for the discerning player. Featuring a smooth roasted maple neck with a comfortable 60s C vintage medium shape and a luscious Indian rosewood fretboard with a 9"-12" compound radius, it offers unparalleled playability for those bends that truly sing. Our luthier has given it a loving touch, expertly reseating and gluing frets, and precisely adjusting the truss rod and bridge. This isn't "as-is"; it's a unique specimen, fine-tuned for supreme playability and rock-solid performance, ready to howl or whisper as you command. With stainless steel heavy frets, Suhr locking tuners, and versatile V60LP/SSV pickups with push-push bridge splitting, prepare to unleash your full sonic potential. This guitar is ready to be your creative companion!
