circa 1967
This Coral Firefly, a Vincent Bell Signature Design, is in good condition for its age. This guitar, with its sunburst finish, has all the great features of the Coral Firefly line: genuine Brazilian rosewood head and fretboard; exclusive slim, never-warp neck reinforced by dual steel beams that never need adjustment; simple string action adjustment at neck socket for easy selective action; double cutaway hollow body; arched spruce top with English maple back and sides; Brazilian rosewood bridge; two lipstick tube pickups with polished stainless steel surrounds; lower body edge input location with a polished stainless steel large rectangular plate. This guitar also features a genuine Bigsby vibrato tailpiece making it a very rare model. Coral Firefly bodies were made in Japan (from 1967-1969) then sent back to New Jersey where the electronics and necks were installed. This particular guitar has a really low, super fast action and a fantastic sound. It plays excellently and looks beautiful. It is difficult to put it down once you get it in your hands. Do not miss the opportunity to own this rare, rockin' piece of guitar history. Description from VintageSilvertones.com

Bolt-on, straight neck with dot inlays on a rosewood fretboard, 21 frets, and 25" scale. Frets are in very good condition. The back of the neck has no playing wear. The 1967 In-Line Style 3 Danelectro headstock shows very little wear on the edges and has the horizontal raised metal "Coral" badge and a silkscreened "Firefly" logo. There are two holes in the headstock where a string tree was removed but that does not affect the tone or playability negatively. The action is super fast and the fretboard feels fantastic under the fingers.PICKUPS:Description from VintageSilvertones.com
Two great single-coil lipstick tube style pickups with polished stainless steel surrounds are potent and in good working order. The neck pickup is good and loud with a round, smooth, clean tone perfect for jazz, rock and blues. The bridge pickup is twangy with an edgier bit of bite and grit, perfect for rock, funk and classic soul. Both pickups together are clear and loud because of the parallel as opposed to series wiring. One volume and one tone control for each pickup and a three way toggle switch for pickup selection, bridge, neck and both. A wide variety of tones can be achieved depending on the settings. All the electronics are in great working order. Description from VintageSilvertones.comThe Dimensions are:Description from VintageSilvertones.com
