This Travis Bean guitar is in excellent shape showing very limited play time. It has never been gigged with and only has slight wear and dings from use from the original owner. Being one of the last years of production, it has many improvements the company took time to develop. Including thinner lighter body, roomier cutaways and painted aluminum neck. In the early days of Travis Bean guitars their aluminum necked designs were the first new development in electric guitar since the 1930's. Their patented neck concept \ featuring a single piece of milled (not forged) aircraft grade aluminum from headstock to bridge was a great innovation. in early production these guitars rose to fame with artists such as Bill Wyman, Keith Richards, and jerry Garcia. These guitars started production in 1974 and stopped by 1979 with only 3700 made. So heres your chance to play a piece of rock and roll history. Everything is original to the instrument. Scale length is 24 1/2, nut width is 1 1/2 and weight is 9.2 lbs. Feel free to ask questions. Comes with hard case
