About This Listing

This is a cool mini guitar with a super short scale (420mm or 16.53").

Fair warning - the intonation is a bit off on the low E string - I suspect it is the nut - so it will need a setup and possibly a new nut.

This is a very rare Chandler Mini guitar from Japan. Chandler Guitar started in the USA (Paul Chandler).

My understanding is this guitar is associated with Vestax via Mr. Hidesato Shiino (ESP guitars etc).

Neck straight, action quite low - no fret buzz

Electrics are fine - a couple of pots have some mild scratchiness. It is a three way toggle switch with master volume and two tone controls.

One or two minor dings in the finish.

Can pickup in Melbourne CBD if you wish
