What We Think

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: All of the frets were polished, recrowned and leveled. The truss rod and bridge were fully adjusted. A complete wipedown and cleaning of this instrument was done. The hardware was polished. No further work was required.

Discover an exceptional instrument, a testament to masterful craftsmanship from a highly regarded, one-man luthier shop. This 16" ES-175/L-4 style archtop boasts a deeply carved German Spruce top, a truly valuable tonewood, providing rich, resonant tones. Its elegant Eastern Maple neck, back, and sides are meticulously bound, creating a harmonious blend of beauty and playability, reminiscent of streamlined, classic design. Every detail, from the expressive split-block inlay on the bound Ebony fretboard to the striking Lightning bolt inlay on the bound Ebony headstock, speaks to its unique character and bold, geometric grace. Outfitted with reliable Grover tuners, a classic Triggs L5-style tailpiece, and a sublime Lindsey Fralin noise-canceling P-90 pickup, this guitar delivers articulate, clear sound without unwanted hum. Rest assured, this is no "as-is" item; it's a meticulously cared-for investment, featuring polished, recrowned, and leveled frets, along with a perfectly adjusted truss rod and bridge. This instrument isn't just playable; it's supremely solid, a truly singular specimen designed to inspire.
