The pot codes are obscured by solder, but are original components. Some solder joints have been touched up. |

| Modifications/Repairs: | -The nut has been replaced -Some solder joints have been touched up |
| Case Details: | Original hardshell case. |
| Cosmetic Condition: | The guitar has aged nicely, with checking and various small blemishes on the glossy finish. There are some darker orange shadows on the finish from the hardware, which has a nice patina. The sides of the neck heel have some superficial cracks, which do not affect structural integrity. The back of the neck has a few spots of wear. |
| Serial Number: | 79428 |
| Tech Notes: | The guitar plays well with low action, and sets up best with 11 gauge strings or heavier. The neck is very straight even with the truss rod loosened, and so lighter gauge strings are not necessarily recommended. The narrow frets are low with moderate play wear. The serial number and lack of a nameplate on the headstock dates the guitar to early 1965. |
