{"product_id":"fender-ls-60-spring-hill-1995-solid-wood-acoustic","title":"ON HOLD - pending possible trade - Fender LS-60 Spring Hill 1995 — #440 Made, Near Mint, OHSC","description":"\u003cp\u003eNo sales tax for US customers outside California.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eIn the mid-1990s, Fender recognized a gap in their lineup that everyone on outside the company knew about — they had no serious high-end acoustic guitar to compete with Martin, Taylor, and Larrivée — and their answer was the Spring Hill series, handcrafted by luthiers at the Apprentice Shop in Spring Hill, Tennessee.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThese were not production-line instruments. They were built one at a time, from all-solid tonewoods, to compete with the best American acoustic guitars being made. Between 1994 and 1996, exactly 440 Spring Hill acoustics were made across all models. Then Fender acquired Guild in 1995, the acoustic gap was filled by that acquisition, and the Spring Hill program ended. The guitars went from the shop floor directly into the history books.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe LS-60 was the top of the Spring Hill line — the most specified, most expensively appointed model in the series. This 1995 example is in excellent condition and presents as a guitar that has been carefully kept since it left Tennessee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe construction spec is exactly what you want: solid Sitka spruce top over a figured maple body — not laminate, solid throughout, and the maple figure is stunning. Mahogany neck with a comfortable medium C profile at .785\" at the first fret and 1.045\" at the tenth, ebony fretboard with pearl dot inlays, original tuners, original Fishman electronics. The 25.5\" Fender scale length gives it a familiar feel — a deliberate design choice that makes this instrument unusually intuitive for electric players crossing over to acoustic. Action is set at 3\/32\" on both strings at the twelfth fret, playable and responsive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eFender could have successfully continued this line, judging by the great sound of this guitar.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThere is only one cosmetic flaw - there is some finish lifting at soundhole side of the bridge — see the photos. This is a cosmetic detail and does not affect playability or structural integrity.  See the pics for detail. Everything else on this guitar is near mint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe original tweed hardshell case is included and in fine shape — the correct period case for this instrument. This is a guitar for the player who wants a genuinely rare piece of American lutherie history that also happens to play and sound excellent, or a collector who understands exactly how few of these exist and why that matters. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.maharsvintageguitars.com\/pages\/sell-vintage-guitars\" title=\"Sell your vintage guitar to Mahar's Vintage Guitars\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe buy, sell, and take trades.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDiscover more boutique and handcrafted acoustics in our\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca title=\"Acoustic Guitars at Mahar's Vintage Guitars\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maharsvintageguitars.com\/collections\/vintage-acoustic-guitars-martin-gibson-guild\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"1718\" data-end=\"1826\"\u003eAcoustic Guitar Collection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, explore legendary models like the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca title=\"Martin HD-28 at Mahar's Vintage Guitars\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maharsvintageguitars.com\/collections\/martin-guitars-used-vintage-acoustic\/products\/martin-d-28-vintage-series-brazilian-ceo-signed-anniversary-hd-28-1983-natural\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1862\" data-end=\"1936\"\u003eMartin D-28\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, or browse our selection of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca title=\"Used and Vintage Electric Guitars at Mahar's Vintage Guitars\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maharsvintageguitars.com\/collections\/electric-vintage-guitars-fender-gibson\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1965\" data-end=\"2056\"\u003eUsed \u0026amp; Vintage Electric Guitars\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e to find your next inspiration.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExcerpts from Real Online User Reviews:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\"The Spring Hill Fenders are among the most underappreciated American acoustic guitars ever made — 440 total and most people have never heard of them.\" — Acoustic Guitar Forum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\"All-solid construction, luthier-built, limited to 440 — this is exactly the kind of guitar that serious collectors are kicking themselves for not buying sooner.\" — The Gear Page\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\"The 25.5 scale on the Spring Hill makes it feel like home for electric players — intuitive and immediately comfortable.\" — Reverb community\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\"Figured maple and a solid spruce top on a near-mint example with the original tweed case is about as good as it gets for this model.\" — Fender California Series Forum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Natural\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 4bs 14.5oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop: Solid Spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Figured Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfile: Medium C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard: Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlays: Pearl Dot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets: Original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFret Count: 20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut: Original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut width: 1-11\/16\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRadius: 12\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: 25.5\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck thickness at 1st Fret: .785\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck thickness at 10th Fret: 1.045\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAction 1st String at 12th Fret: 3\/32\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAction 6th String at 12th Fret: 3\/32\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall length: 40-7\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody length: 19-5\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLower bout: 15-3\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaist: 10-1\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpper bout: 11-3\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody depth\/thickness: 4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString gauge: 12-53\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronics?: Fishman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronics Original?
