Original Paint! Great condition for such vintage guitar (except some scuffs tiny cracks so please see pictures to understand the condition). Fully working onboard electronics.
Bulgarian hollow body guitar, manufactured in 60's at the Plovdiv factory SD-CLONE-Furniture Music Group BLGARSKA Cremona.
 This guitar came closest in design to the mother of all double-cutaway semi-acoustic guitars - legendary GIBSON ES-335: body consists of two decks cut from fir plywood (lower deck reinforced with transverse spring spruce), Beech shells and powerful spruce block, passing through the housing that provides mechanical strength to the overall design. Beech neck with the letter plate, painted black, attached to the body with four screws through the rectangular metal neck-plate. Anchor nut bred in the headstock. Pretty slim feather neck. 2x3 tuners. The body is painted in a wonderful and quite rare blue-and-green striped color. The mensure is 630 mm. Tailpiece tremolo system is Bigsby-like (this kind of tremolo is quite rare for these guitars were mainly used Jaguar-type tremolo).
p.s.You will need a special ADAPTER (5DIN > 1/4 Jack) to plug the guitar in any standard gear. You can buy it at my store with FREE SHIPPING with your guitar, in case you need it.
