This is a 1998 model, a Historic model that recreates the so-called “Black Beauty.”\u003cbr\u003e \nFeaturing the classic 57 Custom configuration of an all-mahogany body and ebony fingerboard, this guitar delivers a dense, low-end-heavy sound that sets it apart from Les Pauls with maple tops. Furthermore, it is equipped with ’57 Classic pickups, adding the characteristic sweetness and sustain of Alnico 2. The result is a well-balanced tone that remains rich and full-bodied while remaining easy to play.\u003cbr\u003e \nWeighing in at approximately 4.65 kg, it’s a solid heavyweight. This delivers impressive low-end thickness and sustain, making it a guitar that truly “resonates as a solid mass.” It shines not only in jazz and blues but also with high-quality clean and crunch tones.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe simple, practical two-pickup control layout is another appealing feature, ensuring excellent balance in terms of playability.\u003cbr\u003e \nThis guitar combines the rugged tone characteristic of the Hiscore era with the smoothness of the ’57 Classic, achieving both playability and a vintage-like tone.\u003cbr\u003e \nThere are areas on the body top near the front pickup and toggle switch where the lacquer appears to have reacted, likely due to sticker residue. Overall, there are numerous signs of use, including scratches, dents, and some tarnish and rust on the parts.\u003cbr\u003e \nWe have performed a fret leveling due to noticeable indentations on the frets.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe neck is in good condition, and the instrument plays well.\u003cbr\u003e \nCondition Grade: B+: Some scratches, but no issues for normal use\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nSerial Number: 78273\u003cbr\u003e \nYear of Manufacture: 1998\u003cbr\u003e \nCountry of Manufacture: USA\u003cbr\u003e \nCase: Hard Case\u003cbr\u003e \nWeight: 4.65 kg\u003cbr\u003e \nTruss Rod: No issues; checked up to 60 degrees left and right with no problems\u003cbr\u003e \nFret Wear: Within normal range; fret height is sufficient for playability\u003cbr\u003e \nString height (low string side): 2.0 mm at the 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e \nString action (treble side): 1.5 mm at the 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e \nNut width: 43.5 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck thickness near the 1st fret: 22.5 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck thickness near the 12th fret: 25.1 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nScale: 624mm (24.56\")\u003cbr\u003e \nRadius: 254mm (10\")\u003cbr\u003e \nStrings at setup: ERNIE BALL 2221 \/ .010-.046 set\u003cbr\u003e \nRepairs\/Maintenance: Cleaning, string replacement, truss rod adjustment, octave adjustment, action adjustment, dressing\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n* As this is a used item, there may be scratches, dents, and other imperfections that are not clearly visible in the photos or not listed here.
