Watkins Rapier 33 Left Hand 1964-1968 – Red

Description

A largely original piece of British guitar-making history! Back in the 1960’s, most teenagers couldn’t afford a real American guitar, but we could (if we did a load of household chores, car-washing and lawn mowing for the neighbours), afford a Watkins Rapier! This is a very playable and rare left handed version. The presence of “toaster” pickups and the “ABCD” rotary selector, dates this model to around 1964-68. The tremolo arm is missing, and the high “e” string tuner has been replaced (pictured), but otherwise, this left handed guitar is in very good condition for its age.
