German made SG type set neck guitar with very low action, good player. Transparent finish. Abachi body with mahagony laminated on top and back. Made in the 70 ies. Rosewood fingerboard, 22 frets, 0 fret. Neck profile D-shape. Hofner bridge and tuners. 2 volume and 2 tone controls, toggle switch and 2 switches for coil split - or rather coil combination, becaus this guitar has 4 individually adjustable singlecoil pickups.
Sound

Nice Sound. 4 Single Coil Pickups wired up like 2 Humbuckers. Coil Split, so you can have real Single Coil sound and Humbucker sound. Nice clear single caoil sound and Powerful Humbucker sound, of course a bit noisy in the single coil mode.
