Unlike the C.I.J. `52 we just listed, this one is a solid BEAST of a guitar! It's a good 25% heavier that the other one and got some real growl when you plug it in as a result. And, everybody loves an "L" series Fender, especially when it's in this cool "Smokehouse" finish that Fender Japan did for a few years. And, again unlike the previous listing, this one looks like it's been in a bar fight or 2 and definitely come out on top, all the tougher as a result. A couple of mid sized areas of lacquer has been lost on the floor of some gig, but it still plays & sounds like the beast it is. Put it thru a decent fuzz, it's whole lotta love!
