Product Description
1982, Made In Japan serial
CSB450 model
Set Neck
Matsumoku factory production
Cherry Burst finish
With matching headstock
Maple neck
Rosewood fretboard
32 ½” medium scale, it is the perfect compromise
It does not feel like a toy, like some 30” short scales can
Nor is it too uncomfortable in reach, like some 34” scales can be
22 vintage sized frets
12” modern radius, contemporary “C” neck profile
42mm neck nut width, spaning to 50mm at the 12th fret
A single MB-1 Double Coil pickup provides ground shaking tone
Master volume with master tone control
Die cast Integrate bridge tail piece, with a quick hook string replacement
Sealed, two a side, Aria stamped tuning pegs
These Cardinal models are highly underrated, and pack a massive punch for the price point
Especially this higher up 450 model, with the set neck
All original with no modifications
Includes (what I believe to be) the original 1980’s gig case/bag
