75-207 Series I Guitar
« on: July 06, 2025, 07:42:53 AM »
1975 Series I Guitar
Excellent condition

24 5/8 scale
8.8 pounds
Zebrawood top and back
I’m guessing koa core
Maple (with some flame) and walnut neck
Might have beech or birch as the neck center laminate
Ebony fretboard
Mother of pearl inlays
Walnut front and back headstock laminates
Brass pickup selector
Brass and wood tailpiece
I like the lighter weight of this guitar
Balances very well, no neck dive
Sounds and plays amazing
Original hard case in decent shape
Cool old sticker on the DS-5 box

Thanks. I actually prefer long scale guitars, but the lighter weight of the smaller SC body compared to the larger standard point body is worth the trade off.
