About This Listing

Rare guitar. Designed and built by Leo Fender in the late seventies (1978), before the purchase of Ernie Ball.

2 low impedance humbucker pickups with an active electronics preamp, requiring a 9 volt battery.

It has a white treble boost switch, a black phase inversion switch and a three-way selector.

The electronics are NOT original, but have been recreated after a long search for electronic schematics.

The 6-string maple neck and fingerboard is 4 cm wide.

The body in ash

Non-original case included with lock key.


Attention: obviously this is a used item. Much of its exceptional value lies in its antiquity. The instrument is sold with vintage leatherette covering.
