Condition
This is a 1989-1990 Made in Japan  'I' serial. It is in excellent condition, with just a few minor signs of use but nothing photographable.  This instrument really does not look its age. There is just a little tarnish on the brass bridge (brass always tarnishes) - but the hardware is otherwise in great condition. There are years of life left in the frets. This guitar has had an easy life.

It comes with straplocks.

Comments

This instrument follows copies one of Keef's stage guitars, a '67 with his trademark modifications...changing the neck pickup for a humbucker (without cover), replacing the original three-saddle bridge with a brass six-saddle type, and swapping the tuners for modern equivalents. 

Played acoustically, sustain is good, with a well defined tone. Plugged in, it's quite well-mannered until you drive it a little... it'll then rock like crazy and, of course, you've a choice between the full, rounded, humbucker sound or the thinner bridge single coil... or a mixture of both. Very nice indeed. 

A new set of 9s has been fitted and the action is very comfortable and easy right up the neck. Condition is excellent, it sounds awesome, and looks cool. What more could you want. Highly recommended.

Price including gigbag: £560.00
