This is a great guitar. I have owned several but this one is special. The stock pickups have been replaced with vintage P-90 pickups which give this guitar an amazing sound. Really clean crisp Highs and smooth mid's and low's without getting muddy. The bridge has been replaced with a roller type bridge and a custom pickguard which was custom made to fit as well as a string butler so the strings wont bind in the nut. I much prefer this hard tail to the Bigsby set up as I never could keep it in tune. No problem with this guitar. Also this "Gold Top" guitar is now out of production and this would be a good guitar to get your hands on before there value starts to climb. Hard shell case included. Shipping is via USPS ground signature required. Shipping cost will vary depending on your location.
