Carl Perkinsу Micro Frets Spacetone
"Maryland-based builder Micro Frets crafted this Spacetone model for rockabilly legend Carl Perkins in the early у70s. These axes are a bit under the radar with collectors, but theyуre extremely well-constructed and fine-sounding instruments. Note the unusual compensated nut and рCalibratoс vibrato. These innovative units were very much ahead of their time. "
