I have enjoyed owning this guitar for the last 38 years but would now consider passing it on to another enthusiast who would be prepared to cherish and restore it

Sound is the better mellow jazz sound I've ever heard !
I use to play a gibson L5, a 175, & also a d'Aquisto ... this beauty beat them all !
I can also have a nice sceaming sound for blues.

The guitar is not new as you can imagine for a 1962 guitar so I don't know anything about the factory set up ....
Anyway I adjust my setup by myself, and there is nothing bad to say about that neck, easy to play for chord, fast for soloing ... what more can you expect ? Every single note you play is precise ...

32 years, & I wish I had this guitar from the beginning (got it only 3 month ago). If it where stolen ? Don't play with me, OK, if you want to stole it be prepared to die ...
:)
I did compare to other guitars, as I wrote before, may be a Benedetto would be better, but I never played one, so I'm fine.
this guitar is a dream come true ...
