Here we have a great Cardiff / JM style by Iconic Guitars in California. It features a mix of both vintage and modern specs. The finish is lightly reliced with checking marks, but is in no way a heavily aged finish. Iconic uses pure nitro on their guitars, so that they will age gracefully, while allowing the guitar to resonate properly. This Cardiff also sports some classic specs like an Alder body and Maple neck. The pickups are Lollar Jazzmaster P-90 Single Coils for classic JM tones with a little more output and bite. The medium C shape neck feels like a well worn vintage instrument. 

Some of the more modern specs are the fingerboard radius, which starts out as a 7.25" radius and gradually becomes a 9.5" radius. The upgraded Mastery hardware, makes the guitars vibrato very useful and responsive, without the typical issues that vintage JM bridges and vibratos are known for. You will not have any strings slipping out of their saddles or rattling issues with this setup. A great instrument for both the gigging pro or studio player. Comes with a hard shell case.  

From Iconic:

"The guitar that never lived up to it’s name but accidentally became the guitar to spawn the Surf Music genre of the 60’s as well as inspiring countless Indie and Alternative Rock bands over the decades. We get the good times rolling with a select Alder body combined with our popular Medium “C” profile, quarter-sawn maple neck which sports a lovely Indian Rosewood fretboard with a 7.25″ – 9.5″ compound radius. We’ve addressed many of the playability concerns of the offset design while maintaining a firm hold on the nostalgic look of the classic JM style that makes it so revered. Built right here on the sunny, California coast where it all started."
