Description Brand: Estey / Goya String Configuration: 6 String Body Type: Hollow Country/Region of Manufacture: Italy Body Color: Cherry Red Items Included: Case Dexterity: Right-Handed
This is an Estey hollowbody guitar made in Italy apparently by Goya. Estey was a division of Magnatone products in the 60s. It has many features identical to some Goya guitars I have seen online. As far as I can tell it is a prototype and may be the only one that exists. It is in very good shape for a guitar from the mid-late 60s. It has long cracks in the lacquer, which is common on guitars this old. I tried to capture them in the pictures as much as I could. The body is quite thin, but fully hollow with no center block. It has an archtop style bridge. It has 2 large single coil pickups with 1 volume and 1 tone. Body is beautifully carved front and back with binding. The neck is bolt-on and is not bound. Pickups are plunky and round when clean and full, but edgy with distortion. Guitar is great to play or just admire as art. Comes with hardshell case that is probably not original, but it works.
