National / WESTWOOD 75 / 1964 / Red Sunburst / Guitar
|
Map-shaped body, oversized headstock, see-through plastic pickguard, add a nice sixties look. Unlike the similar-shaped Res-O-Glass Nationals of the same era, the body is entirely made of solid mahogany, with many cylindrical holes in the back to reduce weight, which are also used as pots and circuitry cavities and are hidden by a screwed plastic cover. Two pickups, one at the neck and another in the bridge saddle, which is made of wood over a plexiglass base. One three-way selector switch, one master volume plus three controls on the upper bout: when you select only the humbucker the first little knob works as a tone control, and when the other two positions are selected the remaining two knobs work as individual volume for each pickup, both with some frequencies cut-off by capacitors. While these latter options provide interesting sounds for some context, the first position - with the neck pickup only selected and all the caps bypassed - delivers a full, rich and warm sound with strong output . Original electronics, Switchcraft jack socket, pots dated 41st week of '64. Kluson Deluxe single-line tuners with a larger plastic button. Nice fat neck with perfect action, easy-playing block-inlaid fretboard with zero-fret. Semi-hard case, and I don't know if it's original. More pics on our website WWW.REALVINTAGE.IT.
