Plays well, sounds great, looks better. What more could you want. This is a vintage, full-hollow, electric guitar. I am not sure of the exact year, but was told it was from the 50s by it's previous owner. There is no serial number to confirm its age. Even so, my research on these guitars indicates this is a late 50s / early 60s model. The previous owner replaced the original gold foil pickup with a P90 and put it a tune-o-matic bridge. Fans of John Lennon will approve. Comes with a brand new case.
