Here's a remarkably fine example of a vintage circa 1963 Airline Barney Kessel Deluxe featuring three "speed bump" pickups.

This example is probably the best playing example we have ever had.   The action is low, neck angle is good and the playability is excellent.    Set up with flat wounds, too!

The original "Speed Bump" pickups are super warm and fat sounding with a real nice organic tone.

All electronics functioning clean and well.

Original single line Kluson tuners work great and guitar stays well in tune.

Comes with a nice original soft case, too.
