Lovely Japanese version of the violin bass made by Kiso Suzuki sometime in the 70’s Two blade style pickups with the usual confusing hofner controls. Bolt on neck and strung with some flat wounds! w/ case
Vintage Gibson-style slope shoulder acoustic, believed to have originated as a Gibson J-50 ADJ. Features a solid spruce top, mahogany back and sides, mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard and bridge, and Grover tuners. The bridge has been converted from the original adjustable saddle design to a fixed bone saddle. Most likely refinished at some point, 6 digit serial that we believe to have been re-stamped. Headstock and Rosette do not match serial for dating to early 70s. 38mm nut consistent with as early as 1967 production.
The guitar has a strong vintage Gibson voice and feel, and plays amazingly. However its provenance cannot be conclusively verified. While many construction details are consistent with a vintage Gibson, we are unable to authenticate it. Please inspect the photos carefully and satisfy yourself as to its originality before purchasing. With modern hardcase.
