(33.7 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 1 1/2 in. This blue example is a ringer for the one played by Ricky Wilson in the early B-52s.with only 4 strings! This is a classic and very stylish piece of '60s California cool, till perfect for vintage styles from surf to psych and beyond, Pendleton or paisley shirt optional!
