That gives it a little more air and a little less weight than a solid body.  The guitar has a beautifully done aged white blonde nitro finish that's lightly checked.  We're beyond impressed in how it came out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quartersawn maple neck has a rosewood board and a '50s soft V-to-C profile with a 25.5\" scale.  You get a 9.5\" radius, a 1-11\/16\" bone nut and 6105 frets, so it's easy to play and you won't fret out.  There's room for both slide and fretted playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bridge pickup is a Mojo Valco\/Ozark-style lap steel unit, and it's the heart of the instrument.  What you get is big output, a thick midrange and long sustain that makes slide lines sing and gives rhythm parts real grit. In the neck position a Mojo Teisco-spec gold foil pickup gets you a clearer, glassier sound with plenty of note definition. A 3-way switch, master volume and master tone run it all, wired with VIPots audio taper pots, a paper-in-oil cap and cloth-covered wire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother key feature is the Gotoh In-Tune bridge with compensated brass saddles.  This keeps the tuning steady and the intonation closer than old three-saddle T bridges. A leopard pickguard is the finish touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Waterslide build is super light, coming in at 6.6 lbs and will easy to play for hours.  A nice hardshell case is included.  Setup to play perfectly by the techs in our shop, it's ready to go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* Year: 2018\u003cbr\u003e* Weight: 6.6 lbs (6 lbs 10 oz)\u003cbr\u003e* Finish: Aged White Blonde nitro\u003cbr\u003e* Body: Semi-hollow alder, single f-hole\u003cbr\u003e* Neck: Quartersawn maple\u003cbr\u003e* Fretboard: Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e* Neck Shape: '50s soft V-to-C\u003cbr\u003e* Neck Nut Width: 1-11\/16\", bone nut\u003cbr\u003e* Fretwire: 6105\u003cbr\u003e* Radius: 9.5\"\u003cbr\u003e* Scale Length: 25.5\"\u003cbr\u003e* Neck Pickup: Mojo Teisco-spec gold foil\u003cbr\u003e* Bridge Pickup: Mojo Valco\/Ozark-style lap steel\u003cbr\u003e* Bridge: Hardtail with Gotoh In-Tune brass saddles\u003cbr\u003e* Tuners: Kluson Supreme\u003cbr\u003e* Controls: 3-way switch, master volume, master tone\u003cbr\u003e* Electronics: VIPots, paper-in-oil cap, cloth-covered wiring\u003cbr\u003e* Pickguard: Leopard\u003cbr\u003e* Case: Hardshell case\u003cbr\u003e* Condition: Excellent\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Waterslide","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68490557063411,"sku":"80WSL000","price":2299.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/1-Img53454.jpg?v=1794253277","url":"https:\/\/www.truetonemusic.com\/products\/pre-owned-2018-waterslide-thinline-t-style-coodercaster-semi-hollow-aged-white-blonde-with-case","provider":"Truetone Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
