Fingerboard Radius: 7.25" to
Nut Width: 1-5/8"
Scale Length: 25 1/2"

Electronics: Original grey bobbin Fender single coil pickups and original wiring harness, with 3-way blade selector switch, master volume control, neck tone control, and middle pickup tone control. The pickups have a 1966 pencil date, and the pot codes date to 1965. A few solder joints appear to have been touched up.
Pickup Measurements: 5.7k (neck), 5.8k (middle), 5.6k (bridge)
Hardware: Original hardware; the trem arm is missing. The pickguard is cracked at the bass side of the neck pickup, but the metal shield underneath is intact. The nut has been replaced.

Modifications/Repairs: The neck has been refretted and the nut has been replaced. A few solder joints have been touched up.

Cosmetic Condition: The guitar has aged nicely; the finish is glossy with patches of wear along the edges, light scratches, and numerous small dings. The back of the body has fairly heavy buckle rash and additional patches of wear, and the sides of the body have numerous dings. The back of the neck has aged nicely, and the headstock has light finish checking. The pickguard is cracked at the bass side of the neck pickup, and the trem cavity cover is cracked in one corner.
Serial Number: 121848
Tech Notes: Plays well with low action; the guitar is currently set up with 10s. The neck has a slight amount of backbow on the bass side even with the truss rod loosened fully, so lighter strings are not recommended. The guitar has been set up to accommodate this and plays cleanly. The frets are narrow and medium height with minor wear. The pot codes date to 1965; the serial number and heel stamp date to 1966.
