I was not able to find any usable information on this gorgeous dual-humbucker Nashville Legend electric guitar on the web. It was sent to me by the owner for an electronics check, cleanup and polish, plus restring and setup; prior to being put on sale.
The guitar is a double cutaway solidbody featuring a quilted-maple veneer top. The bolt-on maple neck is comfortably chunky and boasts what appears to be a two-octave rosewood fretboard. The headstock features the same attractive veneer as the body; while the three-a-side tuners feel solid and turn smoothly. All hardware is gold, right down to the smallest screws.
The "Licensed under Floyd-Rose patents" double-locking tremolo is rather unique in that you don't have to cut the ball ends off the strings. Just feed them through individual brass tubes beneath the fine tuners. Nice idea indeed! The original tremolo arm is missing, but I've found that one from a Squier Strat fits quite nicely.
The control cavity is shielded with conductive paint, wiring is neat and tidy; and the pots are full-sized. Seriously, I was expecting to see some crappy dime-sized pots and iffy wiring. Sorry, but I forgot to take a pic of the control cavity -- my bad! Well, the overall quality of the workmanship and electronics tells me that this guitar was definitely not "fabrique au chine." I'm guessing Japan.
The two ballsy "Zebra" humbuckers have been paired with a three-way toggle switch and controls for neck pickup volume, bridge pickup volume; and master tone. This Nashville Legend Electric Guitar impresses me with its good looks, overall decent build quality, playability; and solid tones. The next person to own this guitar is certainly a lucky fellow!
