Sandberg California II Superlight TT5
Original asking price £1050; now £925. Sale only; no trades. Update 23rd Aug: Now sold
Bought new by me in August 2019.
Bass is in Bristol if you want to collect, or I can possibly deliver, or meet you halfway, or can post in a Hiscox hard case.
This Superlight weighs only 3.3kg, or 7lb 3oz. It balances nicely as the neck is also made from a lighter wood, as well as the body.
It was originally active but converted to passive with a KiOgon loom, with series mode push/pull on the tone knob; good range from bright to dark. The original side-mount jack socket is disconnected.
The cedar body is softer and there are some imperfections but they're not that visible unless you go looking for them, and quite hard to photograph. Couple of small dings on the edge (see photos).
