An absolutely awesome guitar, whose sight alone wakes the 60's nostalgia... winged Cadillacs, Coke dispensers, chromed strips on the trucks, shirts with raised collars, big blue fridges - and this exact guitar!
From what I could search up in the internet, this one belongs to the most sought after Guyatones. Mark Knopfler and Ry Cooder used to play on such guitars. There have been many variations of this model - some lacked a truss-rod adjustment, others had "mediocre" hardware. This one seems to be a later, more refined model, as it has solid tuners instead of some shit ones, has a truss-rod adjustment and a solid bridge with a tailpiece, so the tremolo can be used more bravely as well!
The body is made of alder, the neck is maple/rosewood with big frets.
We have a lot of expierence with Janapene "weirdos" from the 60s, and compared to the others, this one feels the most civilized and practical, besides its wild appearance and sound.
If you want your guitar to visually represent your crazy music and you crazy self, but you don't want to compromise and play on a "cheesy guitar" - this one's for you!
The guitar went though a thorough restoration:
- Fret levelling, crowning and polishing,
- Cleaning and maintenance of the electronics,
- New jack socket,
- New strings,
- Cleaning and maintenance of the fretboard,
- Nut adjustment,
- A pro set-up.
I highly recommend!
