It “Beck”ons you….

Originally purchased from Rainbow Guitars in Tucson, this *limited run* R4 is exactly what you’d expect. The Custombuckers are uncovered…just like Jeff’s (covers included in case). I am the 2nd owner, and it appears there was a dead pot, and they’ve all been replaced, but are also included in the case. Along with all of the “period-correct” case candy. Slight arm play-wear on the lower bout. To be expected. This, is a fantastic guitar. If you love the twang of a wrap-around, you’ll dig the snap on this guitar.
