this example was purchased new by me in fall 2019 and is in excellent condition and has only been played a handful of times. It has spent most of its life on display and needs a home were it can get the use out if it that its historic tone and playability deserves. If you are not familiar with these guitars let me just say one thing besides how nice the eye-catching vintage look and true blues tone there known for is- It’s Heavy! yes this guitar is solid weight. that being said it was still a blast to enjoy playing and listing to while being played as well. It ships with a vintage looking deluxe fitted case that they where sold new with to anywhere in the continental US only.
