What makes this guitar special:
100% original & a very rare model indeed, made for only a short
period of time in the late '60s/early '70s. This particular example
dates to Fall of 1970 & still plays great! The unique red, white
& blue finish is synonymous with Buck Owens & really makes the
guitar stand out amongst other acoustics. Fairly simple construction
with a sweet, rich tone. Pro set up included by the experts at Cream
City Music so she's ready for action straight out of the case!
Cosmetic Condition:
Great shape for its age with some typical light play wear - various
nicks, chips, dents & dings; surface scratches & weather
checking. The back of the bridge is lifting up just a bit, but is quite
firmly attached to the top of the guitar. The white portion of the
finish has aged into more of a yellowish cream color, but that only adds
to its true vintage charm & character. Overall the guitar has a
wonderful look to it with a nice patina.
Neck:
Round,chunky neck with nicely aged cream binding & black
side-dots. Beautiful rosewood fingerboard with pearloid dot inlay.
Frets are in great shape with practically no wear. Sealed tuners with
pearloid buttons in good working condition. 1 3/4" nut width; 25 1/4"
scale length. Neck is straight & plays great up & down the
fretboard.
Body:
Double bound body with solid spruce top & laminate back &
sides. Rosewood bridge with adjustable saddle & tortoise
pickguard. Ladder braced & there is no pickup. Guitar weighs 4 lbs
5.5 oz.
Case: Vintage chipboard case included.
