Meet “Emerald”. A gorgeous 1973 Fender Rhodes Seventy Three, with majestic GREEN pickups!
The finest Fender Rhodes in the South is right here! We call her "Emerald". She's a very rare specimen, featuring GREEN pickups. Only a few instruments were built with this way, during a one or two week period at in late October of 1973.
We've completely cosmetically restored this instrument, with all new tolex and case hardware (but preserving the original latches and catches). We even added a special touch of green to the interior of the case lid, reflecting the unique internals of the instrument.
On the INSIDE, Emerald has had the works:
- complete set of brand new six zone hammertips, for amazing tone
- solid wood pedestal modification, for absolutely pristine and crisp action, with stunning key return
- all new tonebar mounting hardware and grommets
- all tonebars and tines treated and protected for oxidation, and snugly fastened
- meticulous keybed regulation, with ideal key dip and perfectly snug bushings
- world class tonal regulation, strike line, and escapement, for full-range sensitivity and incredible intonation
- damper shielding for absolutely pristine output with zero noise
- strobe tuned to a perfect A440 and ready to track
