Tech Notes: Plays well with low action and optimal neck relief. The truss rod is adjustable and the frets are low, wide, and show only minor signs of play wear. The bridge is bottomed out on the treble side, so the action adjustability is limited. The serial number dates this guitar to 1979. The guitar is a factory second.
