Purchased at
Wonderland music in January 1973 for $325.00 It has a very low serial #
0000322. I looked at it hanging on the wall for a long time. It was such an odd
shape. One day I asked Clarence to play it and I was so impressed that I bought
it immediatly. Once I started playing this guitar I couldn't put it down. It
has a 2 octive neck that plays like glass and it was the first production
guitar to have the FET active preamp switch. It is powered by 9v batteries. The
body is mahogony and is coated with a white resin matte finish. It has Toroidal
contoured-cover pickups with 12 individual polepieces, and six rectangular,
adjustable screws. It has a master volume and tone control with three-way
select and a midrange bypass filter. You can adjust the controls and get the
growl of a Gibson or a "tin can" Tele. Great guitar! |
