I like it!!!!
Great sound and super-thin neck. The action is perfect.

Thanks Damon!
Excuse the poor sound, but I couldn't resist...

Arguably, the model that put the company on the map. It appears on so many albums and film clips from the '70s, and one in mint condition is becoming harder to find.

This one isn't mint by any means. It's been owned by 3 different musicians here in the Seattle area, and it's been played good and plenty. It has a wonderful sound and I miss it already! The neck is really what sets this one apart from the other A-Braced Legends. Super thin and fast!
