Beautiful double cut electric from the 1970s, made in Italy. Amazing wood grain!! 3 pc neck (maple/mahogany/maple) with neck through construction. 24.75" scale (like a Les Paul). Mahogany wings with flame maple tops. Ebony fingerboard. Hefty, in true 70s fashion. A real strikingly good looking guitar in person and a unique alternative to a lawsuit era Les Paul. Neck is pretty slim and feels great. Similar to 60s LPs, but maybe a smidge slimmer. Feels really nice in the hands. Action is low and the neck is dead straight. Pickups are original humbuckers and are really nice sounding. Coil tapping for each via mini toggles. Lots of tonal possibilities! Original hardware, electronics, and tuners. Bone nut. Everything works and sounds great! Guitar is in excellent shape for its age. There are a few cosmetic dings in the finish. I have pictured them all in as much detail as possible. None are really visible when playing or noticeable at all. Recently setup by Trevor Healy of Healy Guitars in Easthampton, MA.I am including the hardshell Gator case that fits it perfectly! Message me with any questions! Shipping to continental US only.
