1967 Guyatone Japan V-4 Violin Semi Hollowbody Short Scale Bass (Sunburst)

1967 Guyatone Japan V-4 Violin Semi Hollowbody Short Scale Bass (Sunburst)Made in Japan in 1967, the Guyatone V 4 wins the record for the longest headstock known to man. Hollowbody construction with a compact violin shape with a rounded neck profile and 20 fret rosewood fingerboard (30" scale, 44mm nut width), it weighs just under 3kg's. Electronics work as they should and it appears to be close to all original. Reasonably good cosmetic condition for it's age as pictured and it plays nicely as it sits.

Nice vintage condition with a few cosmetic blemishes and dings but no repairs or structural damage

this was a the higher end neckthrough model from BC Rich that never had the pesky (and often broken) Varitone system

Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers:

Loaded with a pair of unbranded humbuckers

Likely made in Korea in the 90's

giving you a true Gibson tone with a Japanese feel (the best of both worlds)

this Casino model is one of their "Limited Edition Custom Shop" models usually only made for brief periods of time

sides and neck with a rosewood fingerboard

single volume and tone controls all add up to a whole lot of guitar which is greater than the sum of its parts

The neck is straight with a fully functional truss and the frets are polished and smooth

What separates the white loop from many other similar products is the flash loop function
