Item number: SOHO63LPB

Model: SoHo '63 Vintage Lake Placid Blue

If you are interested in one drop me a line and I would be happy to talk you through the process.  Below is the spec of the example in the pictures, the price is for the model without the upgrades.

This Alder bodied guitar with a quarter sawn maple neck is finished in thin skin all nitro cellulose to a closet classic finish which shows some fine checking.  The Quarter Sawn hard rock maple neck has a comfortable C shape with a 10" radius, heavily rolled edges to the dark rosewood finger board with clay dot markers, 6100 highly polished frets and is finished in our hand rubbed oil finish which results in a super smooth, non sticky surface that is great to play and will natually age over time.

This guitar is fitted with Callaham metal hardware, Raw Vintage tremolo springs, Lindy Fralin Vintage Hot pickups and RS Guitarworks electronics with Luxe Vintage Capacitor.  The tones are strong and fat on the neck, powerful and biting on the bridge but without any of the shrillness with plenty of stratty quack on the in between settings. 

This guitar has a special genuine celluloid mint green pickguard which is a stunning colour.  Being celluloid as the original pickguards, this will gradually age over the next 20 years slowly becoming more mint green in colour.
