How Does It Play?
This baby feels slinky in the hand with a 24.75” scale length. The body is smaller than a typical semi-hollow, but every bit as resonant with its solid maple top and solid alder back & sides. The neck profile is Gibson-inspired but of the period-correct late ‘50s persuasion, comfy and not overblown like many of the reissues. The string action on the guitar measures barely a hair over 4/64” on the low E string at the 12th fret, and nearly down to 3/64” on the high E.
