Freedom Custom Guitar Research S.O.ST 56's M/1P L,Ash3P Lake Placid Blue [SN 00179] (02/23)

As the model name suggests, it is based on the '56 ST, with wood specs of ash body and one-piece maple neck, and a soft V neck shape that can be taken as somewhere between a V and a C.
The neck shape is a soft V, somewhere between a V and a C. The pickups are unknown as there is no model number listed, but the circuit is equipped with an orange drop capacitor.
One of the features of Freedom guitars, stainless steel frets are standard, which are resistant to wear and provide sharp sound rise, smooth chokes and vibrato.
The fingerboard and fretboard edges have been carefully finished to reduce stress when playing, and the natural fit of the neck in the hand is a testament to the high level of woodworking skill.
The back panel is included, but screws are not included, and there are no screw holes drilled in the guitar body, so you can retrofit it to your liking.

There are paint chips on the body end and around the elbow contours, as well as minor scuffs and scratches throughout, and metal parts are dull.
Although there are some signs of use, each part has been maintained and cleaned at our repair center, and the playability is good.
