The Eagle Classic shares the same materials and specifications as its Gibson cousin, including the solid carved spruce top, solid maple back and sides, ebony fingerboard, long scale, and parallel braced soundboard. Slim gentle C profile neck with smooth low action, fat classic jazz tone in the Wes Mongomery tradition. An elegant twin pickup jazz box, the guitar is in superb condition without cracks, pick, buckle, thumb or fingerbgoard wear and is supplied with its original hardshell case. A handmade US built classic at a truly best buy price.
