2013 Echopark Clarence Custom Downtown Rose #001Weighing in at 8lbsThis is the original Downtown Rose, it is the crème de la crème. Many famous guitar players have played this phenomenal guitar in studio. Only gigged once, when used on stage with Stevie Wonder & Jackson Browne. Has been used in product literature, has Case Study status. Having played dozens of these wonderful ECP guitars over the years, I would consider it one of the best made to date. It certainly stands out in a serious way and produces very fine, rarified tone, superior to the maple neck versions. 
Korina neck, 1959 Les Paul Standard neck profile with a slight V up top, the Echopark specialty. 25.5 standard Fender scale length. The neck is so perfect that it almost seems machined, it doesn't have that overwhelmingly hand made feeling that a lot of hand carved necks have with all their inconsistencies. This Korina carve is a 10 out of 10. Perfect neck. You could use this neck as a template. Everyone who has played this guitar has expressed similar sentiments.  6105-size medium jumbo Jescar fret wire. When you hold the neck in your hands you instantly get a feeling that you're holding something special.  It's like the feeling you get when you hold a great 1950's neck in your hands and go "oh man".  It has a special feeling to it, one that is great. Has very light, normal player wear, no dings or defects. Another big standout point is the pickups, it's very good what happens when you plug it in, and how versatile it can be. Like it's Fender counterparts, it's a very tough, strong, solid guitar. The bridge pickup is like the best low output 1950's Tele pickup you can imagine, Arcane's "49 Broadcaster", and the neck is the standard hand wound 6.5K Gold Coil. The combination of this neck with these pickups is one of the sweetest tones I've heard. You will sit there all day. You will find it very, very difficult to put this guitar down. It's a very juicy tone and can be applied to any amp of style of music. Guitar records exceptionally well, just grade A top notch, as good as it gets. Makes for a world-class slide guitar. Incredible and true vintage tones, superior modern playability. and feel.  The neck like one of the best feeling things I've ever felt in a guitar neck, and I've owned quite a few of these higher end Echopark guitars. The neck on this guitar is so good. In my opinion, this is a holy grail Echopark. One Saturday in 2013, Gabe called me and said he had a very special guitar he decided was ready to pass on, and he wanted it to go to a friend. I immediately drove over and literally within 10 seconds of playing it, told him I'd take it. The blonde Korina matches the dark brown fretboard & gray and extremely well, truly gorgeous. A stunning, and phenomenally unique silky smooth hand carved guitar. Feels like a million bucks, this is indeed one of the great Echoparks out there. Guitar is 4 years old, has always been kept in it's case, smoke-free environment, still has faint nitro smell. Beautiful vintage style design, top of the line, there is no alternative. One of the best guitar builders in the world, this is one of his best guitars. As Gabe has said about this guitar "that thing plays itself".  Please email or call with any questions, includes original case & certificate.
