1950's Holiday Futuramic

A perfect companion to your metallic-copper set-neck Harmony Stratotone! The Futuramic might be just a cheap old archtop, but its spiffy paint-job more than makes up for whatever else this instrument lacks! TV- yellow on the front and back with red racing stripe painted purflings and metallic copper sides and neck. Matching pickguard and headstock face, and to tie it all together a walnut fingerboard! Check out the ICBMs and Boeing 707s adorning the headstock... Apart from the new buttons we installed on its Kluson tuners, the Futuramic is completely original and in great shape. It's well set up, too. You'll want to have huge hands if you choose to play it though - the neck on this thing puts Gibson's famous "Banner" necks to shame. It's got a nut width of a little more than 1-3/4", and is a full 1.1" deep at the 1st fret! (Compare this to a Banner Gibson's .95", and a Martin's .85" depth.) If you can negotiate the huge neck, you'll love playing the guitar - it's got a funky-plunky voice that goes perfectly with its looks.
And it comes with its original chipboard case
