This guitar features a double bound hollow laminated maple back & sides body with a laminated maple top, mahogany neck and bound rosewood fingerboard.

The 24.75" scale length neck has pearloid dot inlays and tortoise side markers with 20 vintage frets on a 12" radius with a 50's rounded profile. The hardware is comprised of the original nickel Kluson Deluxe "Pat Applied" tuning machines with oval heads, a bone nut, a Gibson trapeze bridge and gold top hat knobs with a 4 ply black on white pickguard.

The neck has several indentations and marks. The pickup and bridge show signs of age. The screw hole for the pickguard mounting bracket has been filled so the guard is unsupported on the treble edge.
