Archtop with weight relief cavities in the body. Weighs about 6 1/2 lbs.. Plays and sounds great. Has a very sweet tone, especially with both pickups going. My theory is that the 24 fret neck puts the neck p.u. closer to the bridge p.u., resulting in the tonal diff as compared to a 22 fret neck. I tried to photograph the negative issues, one of which is finish wear around the pickups and the other being some fret wear on the second through fifth frets. The rest of the guitar is in very good condition. The pickups are original, but the covers were removed. I believe that only the bridge isn't original, being a Leo Quan Badass bridge. Great for intonation, especially with a 24 fret neck. The original bridge is included. Comes with original hardshell case.
