From the moment you pick it up you’ll feel the boutique craftsmanship that defines the model: a mahogany body and neck, rosewood fretboard, and premium electronics give it that signature Shabat tone. This particular specimen weighs a comfortable 7.6 lb, which is on the lighter side for the Lion JD line (typically around 7.5-8 lb in many listings) and translates into excellent comfort during longer sessions. The action is very low and nimble, making playability smooth from the first note. Its brand-new condition means you’ll enjoy clean frets, pristine lacquer, and full factory setup. Wear-details: none to note — this instrument is fresh out of the box. It plays effortlessly and responds beautifully across clean and driven settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-end=\"1244\" data-start=\"1220\"\u003eCraft \u0026amp; Character\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1773\" data-start=\"1245\"\u003eThis Lion JD VT brings vintage single-cut styling updated with modern hardware and refined build quality.
