Description

This one left the factory in late 1958 or early '59. '57 V-neck and 3-color sunburst over the one-piece alder body in ultra rare left handed configuration. There were quite a few one-piece ash bodies in the 50's, very few alder. Newer trem arm, one replaced but correct tuner and original nut carefully removed to be strung right. Otherwise not messed with. Original frets, finish, decals, pickups, pots, plastic, etc. There would be no way to remove anything from the pickguard without ruining the original pickup rubbers. Ridiculous tone. Had some pics on file and thought I'd see if there is any serious interest. 12/6: Took the guitar apart for photos. Pot codes are 304839 so late '58 assembly. Neck date 2/57. Undisturbed solder. Nothing touched under the guard. No markings in trem cavity. Message me for photos.
