Mojo, vibe, whatever you want to call it- this guitar's got it. It's rare to see an instrument so honestly played in and you'll understand why as soon as you pick it up. Everything about it just feels right; the neck with the rounded over edges, and finish on the back played down to the wood, the gold anodization worn off the pickguard from decades of gigs. Even the wear on the maple fretboard shows that the previous owner knew their scales and didn't just play cowboy chords. It has the desirable larger neck that is only found on the earliest examples- nearly 1 11/16" (!) nut width, 0.91" depth at the first fret and tapers up to a full 1.00" at the 12th. Philadelphia Fretworks went over this guitar completely, polished the frets and set it up to perfection. The neck is very straight and stable, the truss rod works well and has tons of room for adjustment. Everything is original save for the refret, tuners, and extra string tree which is a plus for the gigging player. It even comes with the original burgundy hard shell case. Easily one of my favorite instruments in the shop right now.
