In the typically strident three colour sunburst that seems to suit this simple little guitar so well, its exceptionally well preserved and with the exception of a replacement nut at some point, seemingly all original condition. There were a couple of very minor edge dings, which I\'ve retouched with black nitro, but there was no further restoration required over and above that.
Everything works as it should and the single coil pickups, whilst not exactly pokey, are sweet and clear. The guitar plays well with a very pleasing (to my hands at least) vintage style fingerboard radius, and whilst there\'s some inevitable fret wear present, its insufficient to casue an issue. The nut, as I said is a replacement, which actaully sits a little high and so appears to have been fairly drastically undercut, but it functions.

About Me
Having been a keen guitarist and involved in the Music business in one form or another for the last 25 years, and a professional restorer of Antiques, Treen and Objet, for the last 15 years, revival-guitars represents the culmination of two passions. Everything which we offer for sale has been through our workshop for checking and (normal errors notwithstanding) is what we say it is. We are not drop shippers, we are not bulk importers of guitars or parts and we believe that any instrument, no matter how humble, has a use and a value, and can be impoved upon!
Contact Us
You can contact us through the normal e-bay messaging system (such as it is) or directly via our e-mail which is: get-groovey@revival-guitars.co.uk And please remember,
Be Nice!
being in business doesn\'t mean we\'re happy to accept contact from rude or obnoxious folk, manners cost nothing, and besides which,asking nicely is far more likely to get you what you want.
