A super example of this most sought after 1960’s Italian guitar. Striking black / silver finish with cobra on headstock, on pick guard and running around edge of pick guard! GUITAR IS AMAZING. The sound from these guitars cannot be equaled. Super retro 1960’s piece of are. Designed by Antonio Pioli and manufactured in his unique factory during the mid 1960’s. Entire guitar is very clean and has a wonderful vintage look with verticel finish checking. Headstock has a little wear to tips. Pick-guard has no cracks or chips. Frets are excellent, neck is straight and action low. Electronics are extremely clean and all original.
The original bridge is a work of art itself. The strings are threaded through bronze saddles on the underside!
A real looker, great player and beautiful sounding instrument weighing in at just about 7 pounds.
Note: These guitars have a thin glossy black plastic cover on the back of the neck that is prone to cracking or breaking. You will see many Wandre guitars that have had the black plastic removed leaving the bare aluminum neck showing, for this reason. This one had some chips at the very bottom, where the neck meets the body and a friend of mine who worked with plastics at the time made a 1†wide cover patch from the same type material, see close-ups. That is the only non original part to this guitar.
Guitar is missing the “whammy bar†but an after market replacement can be easily found in the net for a few bucks. Guitar comes with the Italian Music store case where it was purchased used several years ago.
A nicer example of this rare guitar would be very difficult to find at any price!
Price is firm.
