Featuring three New York pickups with a six-position pushbutton pickup selector, it was the most powerful competitor to Gibson's ES-5 prior to Gibson's acquisition of Epiphone. This particular instrument has received a few historically accurate replacement parts to keep it living up to its former glory, including a faithfully reproduced Frequensator tailpiece and pickguard. The original Frequensator tailpiece (with one missing half), pickguard, and heel cap (warped) are included in the case. The pickup selector has had all points thoroughly cleaned, but we recommend that the next owner of this guitar maintains intermittent cleaning to keep everything in good shape. This guitar was very beloved by its previous owner, who took it on a lifetime of musical adventures around the world. Now it's time for this one to find its next loving home, and we're happy to help it find its way to you!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eFreshly inspected and set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech.
