1960s Elite Crucianelli Florentine G-502V Sunburst
$848.00
A very cool '60s Italian-made electric!
Manufactured by the Italian-based Crucianelli, this one was sold under the Elite name with equivalents existing for Vox as the 'Challenger' model. Composed of a semi-hollow construction with two florentine cutaways with a bolt-on neck construction, these feature a pretty unique three-way position selector as well as standard controls for vv/tt. This example appears to retain all its original hardware from what we've been able to tell, and as for most of these old Italian examples, really has a unique voice all of its own. A funky model with serious vintage charm!
Cosmetic condition is very good for its age showing light signs of wear in the form of pick wear, scuffing, and minor dings. The bridge tone control knob has split, but has been re-glued and stabilised. Hardware is fully functional, and plays with a low action. Includes an aftermarket hardcase.
