Here for sale is this Airstream 2 by Rosetti. Made in Holland by Egmond in the 1960s.
I guess it would be fair to call it a decent starter vintage guitar but it can't be compared to modern guitars in terms of playability and spec.
There are some things to note -
I guess it would be fair to call it a decent starter vintage guitar but it can't be compared to modern guitars in terms of playability and spec.
There are some things to note -
- It features a fairly chunky neck with no truss rod.
- The action is quite high but it is playable. (About 3mm at the 12th fret as you often get with these lower end 60s guitars.)
- The tuners are replacemetns.
- Possibly the action can be sorted by adding a shim under the neck however it appears the nck has been glued in so this may not be possible without some work.
- The electrics work but the bridge pickup is a little quiet compared to the neck, eack pickup has an on / off slider switch and there is a 2 way toggle switch which is like a rythm / treble switch. There is a master volume and a master tone which is quite subtle.
- The body and neck show plenty of wear and the finish has crackled.]
- Some fretwear and the lower frets towards the body have been dressed down in the past.
