Tech Notes: | Plays well with moderately low action; the neck has a twist resulting in relief on the treble side and backbow on the bass side, and the truss rod has limited adjustability. The guitar has been set up to accommodate this, and plays nicely. The frets are narrow and low with light wear. The serial number dates to 1966. |
