This is a USA made 2015 Phiga Eagle made by Phil Gawen of Phiga Guitars. These are hard to come by and took me months to track one down. It nicely bridges the gap between $1,000 Chinese Jerry guitars and $6,000+ from the high-end Jerry luthiers. The Eagle was the Cripe model that he gave to Garcia that he never played on stage. Kimock and Nugent play Eagles as well. I am selling only because I was laid off from my job and need to consolidate all of my gear.
The tuners have been upgraded on this guitar, but not by me. I have brought it to two different luthiers for some setup and since I purchased - it plays and sounds great. It features the on board effects loop (OBEL) - and will require a stereo cable and junction box. If you are reading this listing, you probably already know all of this.
