Here we have a pre Joe Pass Emperor from 1989, maple neck,back and sides with a spruce top(I believe) beautiful dark rosewood fretboard with smooth fret ends, it plays as good as it looks. The electronics work as it should and it weighs in at just under 7 lbs. The back has some grazing under the clearcoat that comes with age, kinda cool looking, the gold hardware has a patina but looks pretty decent as you can see. Comes in a hardshell case.
