About This Listing

Here is an interesting old Imperial Tonemaster Model 702-V. It was made in Italy by Crucianelli I believe. This is a thin, double cutaway hollowbody with two pickups and a tremelo tailpiece. It appears to be all original and it's in good shape considering the age (1960s?). The finish shows some small nicks and dings but no cracks or repairs. Oddly, the lower lobe of each F-hole shows some wear and missing binding (see close ups). The neck plate shows some plating wear. I'm including plenty of photos that will give you an excellent idea of the overall condition. It plays and sounds great. Like a lot of vintage Italian guitars it has a fairly skinny neck with smaller frets so it plays fast and easy. The action is comfortable and the frets are in good shape. Everything works as it should electronically as well. It comes in a nice vintage hardshell case. I don't know if it's original to the guitar or not but it fits great and it has unusual latches that I haven't seen before on an old case.
