( FENDER AMP NOT FOR SALE DISPLAY ONLY) A ONCE IN A LIFETIME CHANCE TO BUY A VERY SOUGHT AFTER GUITAR (THE BRIAN SETZER MODEL THAT EVERONE WANTS). THESE GUITARS DONT COME UP FOR SALE VERY OFTEN ANYMORE AND ARE A TRUE INVESTMENT AS THEY KEEP GOING UP IN VALUE. THIS IS A REGRETFUL SALE AS I HAVE TOO MANY GUITARS AND CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP THIS ONE. THE GUITAR IS STRUCTURALY VERY SOUND WITH THE 1958 TREZEL SUPPORTS AND A STRONG THICKER NECK THAN THE LATER MODELS. THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH THE BODY IS THE PLASTIC BINDING WHICH OVER THE YEARS HAS CRACKED & DETERIORATED WHICH MAY NEED REPLACING IN THE FUTURE. THE PAINT IS IN GREAT CONDITION EXCEPT FOR BELT BUCKLE WEAR ON THE BACK OF THE BODY. AS YOU CAN SEE THE FRONT IS A BEAUTIFUL AMBER COLOUR WITH UNIQUE WOOD GRAIN FEATURES AND A LITTLE FLAME MAPLE. AS THE BACK OF THE BODY HAS MORE FLAME MAPLE THRU IT.

MINT ORIGINAL CHET ATKINS PICK GUARD ( NO CRACKS OR CHIPS) THICKER THAN LATE 58 ONWARDS MODELS. SERIAL # 28464 BELIEVED TO BE EARLY 58 TRANSITION MODEL WITH NO ZERO FRET(BRASS NUT) THICK SMOOTH PICK UP SURROUNDS AND EXTRA BRACING IN THE BODY.
