Serial Number: 348975
Tech Notes: Plays well with low action and minor neck relief; the guitar is currently set up with 12-52 light acoustic strings. The saddle is very low in the slot so the action cannot be lowered further, but the guitar plays cleanly in this condition. The frets show light wear; the serial number dates the guitar to 1974.
