Cosmetic Condition: The guitar has aged nicely; the finish is glossy with light scratches and small finish chips. The back of the body has moderate buckle rash, and the back of the bass bout has some heavier chips and scratches. The neck is smooth with some small dings and light wear around the edges of the headstock.
Tech Notes: Plays well with medium-low action and moderate neck relief; the guitar is currently set up with 10s. The truss rod is functional, but the fretboard begins swoop upward slightly starting at the heel; the guitar has been set up to accommodate this. The frets are narrow and fairly low with minor wear. The pot codes and pickguard stamp date to 1965.
