{"product_id":"c-1937-vega-electric-archtop-20","title":"c.1937 Vega Electric Archtop","description":"Serial #56197.  With the introduction of Rickenbacker's first pick-up equipped guitars in 1932 the guitarist's world was forever changed - the electric guitar had arrived. 1935 saw the premiering of Gibson's ES-150, Epiphone's Electar models, National's Electric Spanish, and the first versions of this instrument - the Vega Electrovox.  We're guessing this instrument dates from about 1937, but as we've not found any reliable serial number lists for Vega's guitars we can't offer a specific date of manufacture.  Figured maple laminate body,  very curvy and 16\" wide, single-ply white binding, mahogany neck, bound rosewood fingerboard, ebonized bridge.  Single coil pickup with \"Dual-Tone\" multi-capacitor tone circuit with bass, normal, and treble settings;  volume control, white plastic radio knobs and plates.  Original Black Bakelite pickguard, original tuning machines.  Professionally replaced jumbo frets and a very nice in-shop set up.  This is a great Jazz, Blues, or Rockabilly machine - and it's stage ready, too.  Very comfortable C neck profile is similar to a 50's Gibson, but with a slightly narrower nut width of 1-5\/8\" and a 24.75\" scale length.  Vintage-chic and super cool.\u003cbr\u003eWith original hard shell case\u003cbr\u003e$1895 (US $1549)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"VEGA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53610231234926,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/3660\/5550\/files\/vega__0208.jpg?v=1790962692","url":"https:\/\/folkwaymusic.com\/products\/c-1937-vega-electric-archtop-20","provider":"Folkway Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
