This example has a high grade spruce top Sitka, featuring a nicely figured birdseye maple back and sides, very nice triple bindings all around with Fret Edge Binding detail the body as well as the neck, A Great vintage correct sunburst finish WoW! The two PAF style accurate sounding replica humbucking pickups are amazingly accurate to old Gison Paf tone, naturally aged gold hardware, with a correct multi bound high end Archtop tortoise pickguard.
