This is a real player's guitar. A blues/singer/songwriter statement.

It had a neck reset and refret two years ago by Norik Renson of North Hollywood, CA, who is the guitar tech for Don Felder. He used hyde glue, and a retro fret wire. He also made a new nut and new bone compensated saddle at the same time.
I put new Grover tuners on it, but the original tuners are included in the deal....see pic!
This guitar has some history. The person I bought it from told me that he bought it from the original owner, Hamilton Camp, who played it in the 60s in Greenwich Village. He wrote some popular folk songs and had success as an actor as well.
The guitar is very sound structurally and needs nothing. It has a repair in the lower bout, see pic, very well done, and even an extra sound port in the end (see pic), a super custom feature ;-) !!
The best part is the way it plays and sounds. You cannot buy this tone at GC. It's the real thing.
Included is the case shown.
Serial number is 168***.
I'm selling because I am getting a bit older and just have too many instruments, so it's time to start passing some on to the next care taker.
