Arturo Fuente ビール6本入りパック CBG

Arturo Fuente Sixer, Arturo Fuente box, neck was saved from an old 1970's Japanese Guitar that had one foot in the grave and the other foot had a firm grip on the side. Neck was good and straight though so it was a keeper. Sanded it all down and did the necessary repairs. Japanese mahogany neck, 24 3/4" scale, humbucker pickup w/ chrome ring, chrome sixer bridge, chrome skull volume knob, chrome closed gear skull tuners, black box corners, chrome strap buttons. (the funny lettering after the name in the title is Japanese for sixer....seemed appropriate :-) )
