We have a really neat Japanese Apollo from the 60s! This is an awesome vintage instrument with a quality refret that plays wonderfully. The gold foil in the neck is original but the bridge has a killer Seymour Duncan Antique Firebird Minihum. The combo of the two gives you creamy vintage cleans and strong bite when overdriven. This pickup combo also works really beautifully with slide! The knob nearest the bridge pickup was repositioned to be out of the strumming path. This guitar has been tested, setup with 10-46 guage strings with the apporopriate action, and comes with the original case!
