Truss Rod................Gotoh two way type (5mm Allen Key to adjust) I made this Guitar about three years ago and I have gigged it quite a lot.
It is pretty much based on the G****n L7 with a built in P90 and controls.There is a fair bit of crazing to the Nitrocellulose finish and a couple of marks in the top where I screwed the bridge adjusting posts in too far! I was quite annoyed at the time but I got over it!
I suppose it all adds to the "vintage vibe", well........... that's my excuse anyway!
I don't make these guitars as replicas and I don't "relic" them as such but I like them to look the part. I'm not trying to fool anyone, I just like them to look as if they have been knocking about the planet a bit longer than they really have. Also, I want them to play well and sound good! There is no case but will be well packed.I will send Parcelforce 48 with insurance.Free shipping UK only.International bidders please note!
I have entered an amount of £100 for international shipping.
This is a guesstimate!
