The sides and back of the body have numerous repaired cracks, most noticeably at the output jack. The back of the neck is smooth with some wear along the sides, and the hardware has tarnished with age.
Tech Notes: The guitar plays well with medium action, and is currently set up with 10s. The neck does not have an adjustable truss rod, and has developed relief over the years, but the guitar has been set up to play cleanly and comfortably; the guitar is well suited to slide and open chord playing. The frets are narrow and low with some divots present below the fifth fret. The electronics markings date the guitar to 1965.
