Babicz Identity Natural

A rare and unique acoustic electric guitar with original hard shell case. There is one cosmetic flaw as a result of having to replace the original LR Baggs Ibeam preamp with a new LR Baggs Stage Pro Anthem. The new SPA did not fit into the holes for the original preamp so as a result you can see the old holes. This is shown in the photo of the new SPA. Other than that cosmetic shortcoming, the guitar is in excellent condition. These guitars have several unique innovations: As you can see from the pictures, the strings go through the bridge and attach to the soundboard/top of the guitar. This creates a brilliant resonance. Also, the height of the neck is adjustable by use of the hex wrench. So if you want to play with a slide and raise the strings, it is easy to do and does not affect the tuning. The bridge is also adjustable for fine tuning if necessary. Finally, as mentioned, I have just had a new L.R. Baggs Stage Pro Anthem pickup system installed along with a professional setup and new Curt Mangan strings.  Comes with original hard shell case.
