There is heavy pick wear into the body wood around the neck pickup, and buckle rash on the back of the body.

The back of the neck is glossy with a few small dings, aside from a slightly deeper scratch around the 11th fret. |

| Tech Notes: | The guitar plays well with low action and optimal neck relief. The frets are tall with minimal wear. The heel stamp has faded, but the serial number dates the guitar to 1972. |
