Description: For Sale a used prototype hand built Electric Solid Body Guitar by “Vansal” Guitars. As a Luthier of 30 some odd years I have built numerous electric guitars under the “Vansal” label and sold them across North America and Hawaii. As I have ceased building instruments, this earlier prototype is being liquidated from my collection and comes with the following specifications: It should be noted that several newer additions have been made to this guitar over the years such as a roasted Maple neck, pickups and hardware etc. and for this reason I am liquidating it a much lower price point than my usual hand built offerings

Very Important Note : Please be aware this guitar being a prototype and used for experimental purposes with various pickups, tuners, tremolos, body and neck configurations and Installations etc. etc. will exhibit flaws and idiosyncrasies inherent in a used hand built instrument as opposed to a Factory CNC produced model, this Instrument however has excellent playability.
