1964 Made in Japan single coil monster. Solid Mahogany body in sunburst finish, maple neck w rosewood fretboard, and heavy nickel-silver frets.

This guitar is a bluesy wolf in sheep's clothing, famously one of R.L. Burnside's go-to's...also played by folks like Jon Spencer, Lee Ronaldo, Mike Campbell, Bruce Springsteen.

Good condition, and you don't see these things available out in the wild too often.
