Overview

An upmarket classic in a limited edition finish.

Historically accurate re-creation of this beloved upmarket semi, in an exotic alternative vintage finish that never made it to the originals of the '60s. Its glorious looks are complemented by split parallelogram fingerboard inlays and period-correct plastics. This guitar features hot hide glue neck and body construction, matched potentiometer sets, rolled fingerboard binding and a great set of MHS humbuckers for true PAF tone. Includes hardshell case.
