This pre 1965 Watkins "Rapier 33" (Serial No. 4238) with Hi-Lo Tremolo was acquired by the present owner in late 1968 (together with the separately-listed Watkins Westminster amplifier) since when it has never been played outside of a house. The tremolo arm is original. The various dots were added in the early 1970s and are either water transfers or stickers and should be removable with gentle care if desired. There are a couple of very small dinks on the body and the scratch plate is worn (see photos) but overall the instrument is in excellent condition with no lacquer cracking.
