Here we have a well played 1957 000-18, with hardshell case. Aftermarket passive undersaddle pickup was installed, aswell as a heel strap button and Grover Deluxe tuners. We`re selling this guitar for a customer of ours.

Local pickup is preferred since transport companies will only insure up to $5000 Canadian.The guitar is strung with 010-046 strings, sounds absolutely gorgeous. string height at 12th fret; see photos, the neck is surprisingly straight; at the 7th fret in d standard tuning with 010's she`s at 0.005 inch neck relief.
at some point this guitar got refinished, the bridge has been reglued and it looks like she`s had a neck reset. None of the usual cracks due to dryness or shrinking of the pickguard, some fretwear and wear of the fingerboard (as pictured).A very dynamic and responsive guitar that has aged very very well!
