There were only 50 of these brilliant Frye Model One guitars made, sold through a guitar shop in the Chicago area, maybe around 12-14 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. <br>It has an ultra lightweight solid Spruce body (spruce, yes!) and the neck is mahogany also painted white. It sustains like the best LP Jr. and has a single Frye PAF-style HB at the bridge, original to the guitar, that sounds great. <br>Body shape is just 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. <br>A few knocks along the bottom edge (see pics) and the perspex truss rod cover/logo has a couple of chips, no other issues. It is a very singing and expressive guitar with great dynamics and lovely to play, and being spruce, SO light! <br>Gig bag supplied and will be shipped bubble wrapped in a box or you could try it out in the North East, and carry it home. Bargain £1650 inc. shipping.<br><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52745493324_8177f995b2_k.jpg" title="Link: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52745493324_8177f995b2_k.jpg">https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52745493324_8177f995b2_k.jpg</a><br><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52745654915_2adfbaa82e_k.jpg" title="Link: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52745654915_2adfbaa82e_k.jpg">https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52745654915_2adfbaa82e_k.jpg</a><br><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52745490129_c77d830398_k.jpg" title="Link: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52745490129_c77d830398_k.jpg">https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52745490129_c77d830398_k.jpg</a><br><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52744717682_67d38c74c5_k.jpg" title="Link: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52744717682_67d38c74c5_k.jpg">https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52744717682_67d38c74c5_k.jpg</a><br><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52745732948_2cb3d5593b_k.jpg" title="Link: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52745732948_2cb3d5593b_k.jpg">https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52745732948_2cb3d5593b_k.jpg</a><br><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52745234486_312c68f154_k.jpg" title="Link: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52745234486_312c68f154_k.jpg">https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52745234486_312c68f154_k.jpg</a><br>;
