Lyle uknown c. 1965 - sunburst

Mid-60s Lyle three-pup Strat-ish model in superb clean condition throughout. This is the three-pickup version of the two-pup Epiphone model with the Kurt Cobain cachet. Actually, a cooler guitar. A very interesting and effective take on the Strat. These pups are crisp, open, and responsive. IMO, a little more responsive than Strat pups, but not quite as tight and focused when you really lay into them. Mustang-style tremolo works great. Interesting circuitry. The slider switch shifts the blade from selecting the pups individually, to selecting the cool phased in-between positions in the “neck” and “middle” positions. The pickup selector blade switch can be a little finicky at the ends (bridge or neck pup), but always engages with a quick wiggle and never cuts out. It's original, and ultimately reliable enough, so I’ve left it alone. Very nice player. Padded gig bag. Shipping is estimate to West Coast; will be less if closer to OH.
