I played it on the bandstand a few weekends ago and I’m happy to report that it sounds fabulous, with that wonderful push-pull tone and sustain and it plays great!
The legs for this 43 year old guitar are all original and of course not like new. I tried to clean them up as best as possible.
The photo above of the left rear leg shows a small patch of surface rust that I removed with some steel wool. I wanted to disclose that. There are also a few much smaller ones on the right rear leg but the front legs look just fine.
I also want disclose a cosmetic flaw in the left end plate. I the photo above you will see that the top edge on the front corner has a slight taper in it of about 1/32" at most.
As you can see, the end plate fits the cabinet very well otherwise, but the front corner does reveal a bit of the edge of the mica.
Here are a few photos of the under carriage.
At the moment, this guitar has a very standard Emmons set up; 8×4 with E’s on the left but I’ll be happy to switch it to Day style at no extra charge. I’ll also make reasonable changes to the existing copedent for free as long as you pay for any additional parts (if required). If you’d prefer to have more knee levers, I could certainly oblige by adding more of them (for an additional charge, of course). The guitar still has the original Emmons single coil pickups that came with it, wound to about 15K ohms. They sound great with lots of presence and string separation. Included is a solid Thomas hard case in great condition and a new D2F leg bag.
