Re: kaman/ovation GTX-53 BASS GUITAR

I was able to find more info on the GTX-53. It's an AR Series. The AR Series bass guitars have a unique, sleek body shape, with a beveled treble cutaway to help reach those high notes. The AR53 also has all black hardware, with precision cast Ping tuning machines. Total sound control is achieved through a covered XK220 split pickup in the middle position, and a covered high output XK240 rail pickup in the bridge position. Each pickup is individually controlled with its own volume control, allowing infinite control and blend of the unique sounding middle and bridge pickups. The AR53 has an Indian Rosewood fingerboard with use yes mountain-style inlays mounted on a Canadian Maple neck. An yes, the body is laminated Indonesian Mahogany. Also all GTX models have a triple buffed scratch and mar resistant polyester finish
