1970's Lyle 1802T Sunburst Electric Guitar Like Epiphone ET-270 Cobain MIJ Matsumoku Japan
Very cool guitar and very clean! Basically the Lyle version of the Epiphone ET270 made popular by Kurt Cobain. Frets have been polished, rosewood fingerboard has been oiled and a new set of strings was just installed.
Guitar is listed as FAIR condition on account of a few issues. The neck has a slight S curve (It rises up by the string nut but as you sight down the neck you’ll see it slightly curve down then back up slightly near the end of neck). The truss rod does work and was adjusted but there still seems to be some buzzing on the open strings. I have a foil shim on D string nut groove as it was buzzing badly without it but now seems fine (see video). Maybe a new nut or some fret leveling could help. Pickup selector switch tip appears to be unoriginal and is glued on and partially broken but still functions as intended. The low E saddle does not appear to be original but seems to doing fine with the other saddles. The bridge height adjustment screws appear to be stripped out on top where the screwdriver would fit. Pots have been spray cleaned but are still scratchy. Could probably use more cleaner. Tremolo arm is an exact replacement from ebay seller EZPZ. Overall this mostly original Lyle 1802T is in playable condition but any future cleaning, setups, maintenance or repairs will be the new owner’s responsibility.
