Awesome fat blues sound from the P-90 pickup and full depth hollow body, as well as a very sweet, mellow jazz tone. Ive done loads of gigs with it, and its proved very versatile and sounded really authentic..
Its got the classic, fat 1950s neck profile and beautiful, naturally relic'd original two tone sunburst- just a real head turner!
Its been well played over that last 50 years and accordingly has lots of finish wear, and a couple of touched up hairline cracks- but no headstock issues or other biggies..
The tailpiece and tuners/other bits and bobs are quality repros, and the P-90 is an excellent Seymour Duncan Vintage replica- sounds as it should!
A mint, all original one might go for £1400-1800, so im pricing this at about a third, all things considered.
