| Cosmetic Condition: | This vintage guitar is in good cosmetic condition with attractive signs of aging and wear. The finish is glossy with plenty of checking, scuffs, chips, and dings throughout. The metal hardware has a nice patina. The original tuners were removed, leaving behind imprints and six small drill holes on the back of the headstock. |

| Tech Notes: | This guitar plays well with low action. The frets are tall with minimal play wear. The guitar is being dated to 1972 based on the serial number and the center block only extending from the tailpiece to the endpin. |
