This is a very comfortable instrument. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSold with its original Access II rectangular hard shell case containing the builder's documents.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eConstruction and Materials \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnusually for electric models, the body is torrefied Nootka cedar, which is a cypress (Cupressus nootkatensis), not cedar.  This is rather like Spanish Cedar (Cedrela odorata) being neither Spanish nor a cedar - it's a member of the Mahogany family (Meliaceae).   Taxonomic controversies aside, this is a light weight wood that supports a full, warm tone. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eC P Thornton uses torrefied Nootka cedar regularly, pairing it with a one-piece torrefied rock maple neck with Walnut 'skunk stripe' for stability, durability and to obtain balance between maple's brightness and Nootka cedar's warmth.  The neck is fretted with Jescar #6150 EVO Gold wire, a medium-jumbo size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor hardware, the head has a set of staggered post vintage style tuners by Gotoh, which remove the need for string trees.  The bridge is another Gotoh part with brass compensated saddles, and this helps provide the classic twang.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe electronics are a straightforward Nashville style.  The pickups are by Harmonic Design:  a ChromeTone at the neck, 54 Strat in the middle, and 54 Tele model in the bridge position.   The control plate is reversed, with the sequence Volume, Tone, and 5-way switch.  Interestingly the knobs are un-marked Gretsch style, very friendly to the hand and a visually subtle difference. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;
