There were only 50 of these brilliant Frye Model One guitars made, sold through a guitar shop in the Chicago area, maybe around 10-12 years ago. Handmade in the USA. Water Becker used a few of these with Steely Dan, and I bought his black one at auction. I liked it so much I then bought this off-white one to gig with, but I've stopped gigging for the foreseeable. It has a lightweight solid Spruce body (spruce, yes!) and I think the neck is mahogany but it is painted. It sustains like the best LP Jr. and has a single un-named HB at the bridge, original to the guitar, that sounds great. Body shape is like a slab 1959 Epi Coronet, so it is a single pickup rock and blues machine. The vintage style medium profile neck is comfortable and the fretwork and action is perfect. A great guitar, and quite rare. A few knocks along the bottom edge, no other issues. It is a very singing and expressive guitar with great dynamics and lovely to play, and being spruce, SO light! Gig bag supplied and will be shipped in a box or you could try it out in the North East, and carry it home. Bargain £1650 inc. shipping.
