This guitar was given to me by a very elderly lady who said she wanted to get rid of it. It was her husband, who didnt play, but he bought it at some time when he was a young teen. (she said somewhere between 14 and 18 years of age.) she is now in there mid to late 70's. so im guessing the guitar is about 50 years old or so.
I have searched the guitar for a single marking the would help me, and i found none. Not even the pickups have a brand or anything! The other information I can give is that they have lived in southern california for ever and bought in southern california.
It has an all brass nut, and all the saddles are pure brass. The pick ups sound amazing... and the guitar plays great, it just needs a refretting. it feels very nice, and looks great, especially for how old it is! I was told it was taken into a shop, not for a set-up but i beleive to get new pots and knobs. i guess the old ones where trashed.
