Serial #: 067316 Click to enlarge picture List Price: $900.00 You pay: $320.00 Inquire about product   Tell a Friend Route 101 Solimar Custom This is a very cool guitar. It was made by Route 101, a company that was in California but is no longer in business. They bought their bodies and necks overseas and assembled the guitars in CA. We got this when we were doing research because we had heard some great things about them. One of them being that this is the ony guitar you will find at this kind of price that has a shielded control cavity. This was custom ordered in white and has faded over the years to a really nice creamy white color. This guitar has been sitting in a stand for years and needs a good home. The rubber from the stand it was sitting in has left a yellowed spot in the finish witch is visable in the pictures. Other than that this guitar is like bran new. It would be considered a closet classic type guitar. The electronics are very intersting. there is a Tele style pickup in the neck position. Weaker than a Strat sized pickup this gives off a really nice chime. The middle pickup is a lipstick tube pickup like SRV had on his Strat named Lenny. The bridge pickup is a JB-Jr. I feel like I am giving this guitar away at this price but it needs a home. It is really a pretty cool guitar. Plays really nice too, low action. Nice tone. Nice feel. Special Notes No case but will be packed very well in an oversized heavy duty box.
