This is a vibey, character-rich vintage instrument—perfect for blues, garage, indie, and studio work. The matching amp makes this a particularly special and collectible setup.

To the best of my knowledge the guitar appears largely original, but given the age of the instrument I cannot guarantee every component. It is being sold as a vintage piece with wear consistent with age. A buyer may wish to perform their own setup or adjustments to suit their preferences.

I’ve owned this guitar for many years and it’s been well cared for during that time. It’s a special vintage piece and I’d love to see it go to someone who will enjoy it.

The amp is functioning and sounds great, though like many vintage tube amps it can occasionally produce some background noise.

Happy to answer questions or provide additional photos.

Shipping includes careful packing, insurance, and signature confirmation. If actual cost is significantly lower based on location, I’m happy to adjust.
