Here's a great Normandy electric archtop guitar.  Not many of these around.  When I was looking for one of these there were hardly any new ones available.  This one has a few nicks, dings, and scratches.  Nothing terrible, but it's not mint.  One of the longer scratches in the aluminum finish is shown in pics.  There's a lot of good reviews, videos, and info online.  Guitar has great sustain. High output pickups (wound by Normandy), but is not muddy (like some hot pickups can be), which I think is due to the resonance of the aluminum.  It's adds some upper end sparkle and pop.  Has Gotoh tuners.  That's a kill switch down by the output jack.Weighs 8lbs, 12oz.  Nice medium C neck is made for Normandy by Warmoth.  Nut 1-11/16" wide.  Just a hint of fretwear on first few frets.  This one is serial number 0068, so I'd guess an early one.Original hardshell case is in great shape.  No case candy included.  No reserve - ask any questions.  Thanks !
