    Here is a 17” Campellone with 2.25” depth and a Lollar P-90 that is original to this guitar. It looks great, plays great, and sounds great. This guitar has the least “fight” of any guitar I’ve ever played—it plays as smooth as butter. The thin body is quite comfortable and I suppose makes the guitar reminiscent of a Gibson L5 CT—but the Lollar P-90 takes it to a while ‘nother level. Despite the thinner body depth, a deep, rich jazz guitar tone is readily available with some tweaking of the tone knob.

    Actual video of the guitar in question:



    Notes: The binding exhibits some discoloration in some spots. There is also one finish check line at the bottom of the treble-side F-hole. It can only be seen from certain angles. Both issues are, in my opinion, inconsequential. See pics and please ask questions!

    Unless I'm having a serious case of "déjà vu" I'd swear i've seen this sometime ago ??!

    Seriously though ,this is a truly beautiful guitar and what a great tone (wow), out of my $ range sadly, but exactly the kind of instrument I'm looking for.

    I don’t think there is such a thing as a bad Campellone.
    A total no risk buy from a very honest seller.
    My anal side would change the P90 cover to black.

    GLWTS buddy.

    Nope, not just you. I remember it too. Maybe it's a case of the Mandela effect.
