Stromberg Monterey Semi Hollowbody! SOLD! Here's a classy looking thinline! This recent (circa early to mid 2000's) Stromberg Monterey combines classic semi hollowbody tones and construction with unique uptown appointments. This guitar aped the ES-335 vibe so well that Gibson actually slapped Stromberg with a cease and desist order. Henceforth, they no longer offer this model as a double cutaway. Nice specs just like the guitar it was inspired by. The body is made of laminated flame maple and features a solid centerblock for good sustain and resistance to feedback. The 24.75 inch scale maple neck features a multi bound rosewood fingerboard with gorgeous pearl and abalone block inlays. Dual Kent Armstrong pickups deliver smooth vintage tones. A trapeze tailpiece, Tuneomatic bridge and Kluson tuners keep it rock solid. The finish is a gorgeous sunburst that really accentuates the wood. The guitar is further dressed with fancy multiple binding and a cool headstock inlay.  A gorgeous guitar that offers a lot of tone and looks for the buck! SOLD!
