PLEASE READ: I believe they made a mistake in the factory when installing the truss rod. The ... view on ebay

WATKINS RAPIER 33


Fantastic vintage instrument, full of character. These are rocketing in value as the years. This is one of the original early 60s models.

Decal still in tact which seems quite rare these days (as is the set neck). Original finish too. I don??t think the pickups are original

Nice and light. Lovely to play. A true piece of guitar history now heading towards 70!!
