Selling this excellent oak mica '69 P/P fatback. I am the second owner of this guitar, and it is been completely refurbished and setup by Lynn Stafford to absolutely perfect playing condition. Since the guitar was really clean as it was, I asked Lynn to just leave the natural look that a well cared for 47 year old guitar has, rather than make it look like it was made yesterday. It could certainly be professionally polished etc. if that's the look you want. The normal wear is VERY minimal, and the guitar is probably 95% original in every way, however this is not a 'closet queen', it's seen a few bandstands. Fingerboards were replaced by Lynn with correct replacements from another similar era 60's P/P, but the guitar is essentially as it left the factory (2 additional KLs were added at some point in the past).
It has original changers and all mechanics except where Lynn felt any worn parts needed replacement. This guitar plays like a dream, excellent in every way. I also have some of the original paperwork from the first and only other owner, including a letter from an heir with the history of the guitar. I'm really not crazy about selling this guitar, but I've reached P/P overload with two bolt-ons now in the house, so I'd prefer that it go somewhere where it will get played.
- Original changers and all mechanics except where Lynn felt any worn undercarriage parts needed replacement.
- Stock Emmons PUs, around 17.5K ohms
- Standard E9 copedant with E's on LKL and LKR, RKR lowers 2 and 9 (great half stop feel on 2), RKL lowers 6 full tone and raises 1 a full tone. Standard C6 setup.
- Original case, it's a bit worn after all these years and probably not suitable for a lot of travel, but ok for casual local gigging.
Asking 4151.00 including shipping to continental US location, or make an offer. Local sale welcomed but not required. I'm in the central Texas area, and I don't mind meeting in the middle somewhere within a couple of hours drive.
