Thus beautiful guitar obviously takes a nod from a rather well known guitarist from Cambridge.
It does have the neck blender circuit and three wonderful Monterey single coils from Paul and Paul from Radioshop.
These units offer a lot of ‘quack; in position 2 and 4 and a glorious vintage tone throughout.
The bridge is a little bit special too. I have found the Holy Grail from Wudtone, paired with the brilliant Highwood notched saddles provide fantastic intonation and rock solid tuning whilst using the bar.
The finish is aged Satin nitro-cellulose - there are wear marks but no chips or checking - I’ll leave hat up to you…..
