This ultra rare 1972 Hayman 1010 electric guitar is a testament to what happens when British ingenuity meets the need for something that doesn't just look good hanging on a wall. Conceived by Jim Burns, post his company sale leisure phase, and Bob Pearson, presumably during a tea break from Vox, this guitar was Dallas Arbiter's bid to add a bit of flair to the music scene between 1970 and 1973. With its body hewn from the exotic obeche wood and sporting a bolt-on maple neck, this guitar wears its natural finish like it's about to saunter down a London fashion runway. The trio of "Super Flux" single-coil pickups aren't just there for show; they produce a clean sound that's as distinct as a British accent in a Hollywood movie. The electronic setup is delightfully straightforward, featuring a no-nonsense 3-way pickup selector alongside a volume and tone control, because who needs complexity when simplicity sounds this good? The bridge, a steadfast strings-thru affair with six adjustable saddles, and the original Grover tuners, promise to keep things in tune, unless you're deliberately aiming for avant-garde. This guitar is not just a rare find; it's a piece of playable history with a character all its own.

Includes gig bag. Fully setup prior to sale & playing wonderfully.

Minor wood part on top & back however very common with Hayman's thanks to the resonating chamber underneath the pickguard that allows these solidbodies so resonant and powerfully chiming.
