This rare example is again a very high Quality Jazz guitar that is a Super detailed vintage Replica of the great Gibson L- 5 - Super 400 style... This guitar was built in 1979 and if you have noticed the similarities between this and our other vintage Aria Matsomoku factory crafted guitars you are not seeing things this Bradley is a Prime example Law-suit guitar that was made side by side with the same materials & the very same luthiers and was labeled Bradley during the Law Suit Era this is the very same guitar no differences other than Bradley in Mother of Pearl logo instead of Aria... other than that no differences what so ever...This example as a Beautiful aged Sitka Spruce top , Figured Maple neck & the back is figured & Birdseye Maple WoW!..
