We here at Subway guitars are tickled to offer a guitar currently owned by guitar legend Taj Mahal, and it's a real peach!
A 1965 Stratocaster owned by the Maestro for many years and played on his 1987 album "Taj". This package includes an original vinyl copy signed by Taj Mahal. He even notes which tracks feature the guitar!
Like many guitars owned by working musicians, this guitar has been heavily modified for professional use.

The guitar has been refinished to a nice see-through blonde tint. It is not glossy, but rather more of a matte or open-pore finish.
The set-up is perfectly dialed in with a delicious medium-low action.
Vintage Strat fans will love the hand-hugging neck which has been broken in by the Maestro. It feels like your favorite baseball glove.
It sounds great even unplugged.
Weighs in at a comfortable 7.9 pounds.
A remarkable instrument. You won't be disappointed.
Comes with Non-original hard case.
