USED Carruthers Guitars / S6 2H Custom [11]

This is a custom-built guitar crafted by California master luthier John Carruthers, designed for serious playing.
It's a neck-through model built on an S6 body shape.
The body features a thick arched quilted maple top and mahogany back, paired with a one-piece birdseye maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. The neck-through construction incorporates a wheel-style truss rod adjustable from the front pickup side, achieving a high level of playability and maintainability.
Equipped with Seymour Duncan SH-55 Seth Lover pickups in both the front and rear positions. It delivers the delicate airiness and rich harmonics characteristic of vintage PAF-style pickups, fully realized through the long sustain and excellent tone separation unique to the neck-through construction. Combined with the direct vibration transmission from the hardtail bridge, it achieves both a thick, focused tone and superb response.Controls feature a practical layout: a mini-toggle 3-way selector, master volume, and independent front/rear tone controls. Potentiometer date code: "450-YA9245 R1379514". The cavity interior is shielded with conductive paint, a key feature for high noise reduction tailored for studio use.
The translucent red gloss finish is unified from the neck back to the matching headstock, creating a premium presence when paired with gold hardware.
A player's guitar combining battle-ready performance with artistic woodworking beauty.
The strap side part of the lock pin is missing.
Both pickups may have had their covers removed.
A 9V battery holder is installed inside the back panel. Wiring that interfered with the holder has been replaced. Based on these points, it is highly likely that circuit modifications have been performed in the past.

The neck shows no noticeable abnormalities and is in good playing condition.
The case surface has a sticky residue.
