1960s Bradford (Guyatone LG145T) Electric Guitar

Overview: I wasn't at all sure who made this guitar when I first posted this, but thankfully a Reverber helped me out and identified it as a rebadged Guyatone LG145T. Thank you!

Suffice to say, it's a great-looking guitar with an old-fashioned but cozy neck profile. I've eliminated weak (or overbearing) points from the design and it's currently playing as a garage-rock-friendly instrument. The pickups are on the microphonic side so if you like that "alive" sound when playing, this is it! 

Repairs included: Molly gave this a level/dress of the frets some time back. I added side dots, replacement tuners (Kluson-style, Fender-style), blocked the whammy, cleaned it up a bunch, and rewired it. I was initially working on this for the owner to keep and he wanted it setup very simply, so the wiring is actually just "1 volume and a 3-way switch" -- the whole upper control panel is actually disconnected (as it worked poorly, anyhow). It's setup in a "2 humbucker" arrangement at the moment with the pickups paired-off. I also shielded the whole cavity at the same time. It's playing spot-on and ready to go.

Condition notes: It's got a fair number of light scratches, scuffs, nicks, and small dings here and there. The tuners are non-original and I've ground compensation in the original bridge. so it intonates nicely with 3-wound, 3-plain, modern stringing. I have disabled the whammy system as it worked very poorly (it's now just "blocked") and was a liability. Some previous owner changed the two top neck bolts into actual bolts with inserts embedded in the neck and I covered the holes in the fretboard left by those insert installs.

It comes with: Sorry, no case.
