Sweet fast axe. Great thinner neck that plays real easy like some shred guitars of the 80's. Jag type trem system. Two single coils and tunomatic type bridge kinda. Body is a cross between a Strat and SG. Pickguard has tone/pickup switches/selectors and volume knob with the early design housing for the switches but no grill between the pickups. Made a 1,000 of em' in 1965 and that's it.
Sound
:

This guitar has one of the best hard rock sounds I've heard on a guitar period. Has every bit of crunch that my custom heartfield ex 2 and that has a screamin demon but it actually articulates the notes better. I've got it runnin through a Fender Twin. Pickups are quiet. Havent found a real good clean sound for the guitar but I just got it a week ago. The tone on its own is thinner cause of the single coils.
