Description Brand: Flatiron Number of Strings: 8 Body Style: Pancake Exact Year: 1979 Body Material: Birdseye Maple Model: Flatiron 2 Top Material: Spruce Country/Region of Manufacture: United States
This Pancake is from the first year of production for Flatiron and is in remarkable condition. The Birdseye maple body was an upgraded feature. Frets are in good shape. The body does have some finish checking, which is pretty normal for this vintage. Hard case included. A real piece of history for bluegrass and mandos in general, these are hard to find. Still playing and sounding good.
