Hardware: The bridge, pickups and pickup rings, strap buttons, and switch tip have been replaced. The original bridge is included in the case.
Weight: 10 lbs 5 oz
Cosmetic Condition: The guitar is in good cosmetic condition with expected signs of aging and play wear. The finish along the edges of the body is worn and discolored. There is significant play wear on the pickup rings, most notably on the bridge pickup. There is moderate belt buckle rash present on the back. There are small dents all throughout the body and neck. There is a strip of finish missing on the bass side lower bout near the strap button. There is a visible headstock repair on the treble side of the neck. This repair is stable and does not affect the playability of the instrument.
Modifications/Repairs: The neck has been refretted. The nut has been shimmed. The pickups and wiring have been replaced, and wood has been removed under the pots in the control cavity to account for shorter pot shaft lengths (see photos). The back edge of the neck pickup cavity has been roughly routed to be slightly wider, probably to allow the pickup to move up and down more easily. The finish has been fully over-sprayed. When the guitar was over-sprayed, the serial number was redefined by scoring lightly into the finish. There is a small repaired crack in the neck starting at the treble side of the nut and extending to the first fret. This crack does not extend all the way through the neck. It is stable and not affecting playability.
Serial Number: 730153
Tech Notes: The guitar plays well with low action. The frets are medium width and height with moderate play wear. The serial number dates to 1970-72. Appointments date this guitar to 1971.
