Description

This Switchmaster is truly something to behold. All original aside from a refret—which means it plays excellently—this guitar is exceptionally clean. Loaded with three PAFs, it delivers vibrant, versatile tones, enhanced by the large body’s open, resonant jazz-box character. The neck is just right: slim yet rounded, with low action that makes it easy and genuinely fun to play. Comes with the original hard-shell case.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
