RARE 1963 Fujigen Gakki St. George / Marvel electric bass guitar Japan gold foil

Description

RARE Vintage circa 1962-63 Fujigen Gakki Japan short-scale electric bass guitar == Although with an almost identical profile to the Guyatone EB-4, we were finally (with help!) able to identify this bass as very early Fujigen Gakki production, most likely originally with a St. George or Marvel logo (missing) -- it has a distinctive truss rod cover & a very rare gold-foil bass pickup == Good condition and all original, play wear/scratches/dings, needs new strings == Fat D profile neck == Rare & unusual gold-foil pickup seen previously in early tele-headstock Fuji basses (often mis-identified) == Pickup is powerful & sounds very good == Sorry, no case ==
