NEW ARRIVAL
Built in the Hoboken, New Jersey factory, the Slim Jim is the
single coil equivalent to the Starfire 3. In production from 1958 -
1973 it's a very distinctive looking guitar in a very striking
sunburst finish. It features a 16" single cutaway body, a bound
Maple top, back and sides, bound Mahogany neck with Rosewood
fingerboard. The guitar is in great condition, all original with no
cracks or repairs - the front shows that it been looked after
really well, and the back tells you it's been played a lot with
plenty of buckle wear visible. Plugged in, the front pickup is warm
and smooth sounding, very bluesy, while the back pickup has a rocky
tone with plenty of bite. The guitar has a good weight to it,
feeling well balanced, and the neck is very comfortable with a
great playing action. The guitar is full of character, and a great
way to buy an American made 60's electric without paying a fortune.
The guitar comes in a non original hard case.
