Condition Notes:
– Condition: 8.5/10
– Fret wear: None
– Any wear of note: This guitar is in overall amazing shape with some light wear. There’s a couple of dings on the body and very light finish wear on the bass side edge of the first fret. But that’s pretty much it! It also exhibits the normal extremely light swirling in clear coat (Very standard wear for a used guitar. Can happen from simply being wiped/cleaned with a cloth) that’s only really visible in certain lighting. But it’s all very minimal and minor, and to be expected from any used guitar. Still in amazing shape overall and full working order!
– General notes: This is a gorgeous and eye catching guitar that plays and sounds amazing! It’s the signature model of surf guitar legend, the late great Dick Dale! It’s super resonant and lively. The neck is has a chunkier feel yet is still really comfortable. It fills your hand really well and provides tons of tone. Plus it has some beautiful figuring! The pickups sound killer and feature really unique, yet versatile, switching options. Capping it all off is the Chartreuse Sparkle finish and reverse headstock, which is sure to turn some heads and get people talking! Overall just an amazing guitar with superb build quality and components. And signed by “The King of the Surf Guitar” himself, Dick Dale!
– Accessories included: Original hard-shell case, COA and tremolo arm only.
