Scout's notes

This is a solid-body electric guitar manufactured by Brownsville, as identified by the script logo on the headstock which also includes the text New York. The instrument features a single-cutaway body design in the style of a Les Paul with a bolt-on neck construction. The body is finished in gloss black with cream-colored binding on the top edge and a matching cream-colored pickguard. The dark wood fretboard is appointed with pearloid trapezoid position markers. Electronics consist of two uncovered black humbucker pickups set in cream mounting rings, a three-way toggle switch with a cream Rhythm/Treble washer, and four gold-colored top hat control knobs for volume and tone. Hardware includes a chrome Tune-o-matic style bridge, a chrome stopbar tailpiece, and six chrome sealed tuning machines on the headstock. The guitar is accompanied by a black tooled-leather strap featuring a silver-tone buckle and a multi-colored woven or beaded decorative inlay.
