Not quite full “PAF” in tone, but close with a nice mid range
This is not quite “mint” condition, but it is exceptional
For a 45 year approx. vintage LS-400 model, it is by far the BEST we have had in
(and there have been a LOT over the years)
It has been incredibly well kept, with very little to no real fret wear
Better still it is all original, with no modifications or repairs
But best of all….it has the original 45 year old store card and serial/purchase card !
An incredible find, that will suit a collector or payer alike
