This guitar is definitely for the player and not the collector. It’s in good condition, despite it’s many modifications. It has a Lollar Johnny Smith floating pickup fitted, and pickguard with mounted volume and tone controls. There are Gotoh locking tuners, a Tune-O-Matic bridge, and a later Gretsch tailpiece. Despite this, it still has a real vintage look, feel and vibe with great playability and a really versatile tone. It can go from smooth jazz to rocking blues effortlessly, The full feeling neck is very comfortable with easy playability. The guitar comes in a non original hard case.
