The Story

Futura Ultraviolet 1984

Released in the 1980's as a neck-through version of the Corvus, this is a used 1984 Futura in the Ultraviolet finish which has faded over time to almost look like a Burgundy Mist or something similar. The guitar has a 22-fret ebony board with dot inlays, two covered Gibson humbuckers, and a stopbar tailpiece. There is lacquer checking throughout the body, with players wear such as small dings. A 3rd strap pin was installed, giving you the choice of what is most comfortable for you to wear the guitar. The original case is included as well.

Includes: Original Hardshell Case
