Electronics: Wiring harness appears original. Pickups have been replaced with a Seymour Duncan SH-1B neck pickup and an unbranded bridge pickup with a "3" marked on the baseplate. Pot codes date to 1968.
Pickup Measurements: Neck 8.05K, Bridge 8.53K
Hardware: Tuners, Maestro cover, tremolo arm, knobs, and bridge have been replaced. All other hardware and plastics appear original.
Weight: 7lbs 3oz
Modifications/Repairs: The frets appear to have been leveled, but show relatively heavy wear regardless. The tuners, Maestro cover, tremolo arm, knobs, pickups, and bridge have been replaced. The headstock has been glued back together after previous break. The break did not go all the way through.
Case Details: Non-original "chainsaw" hardshell case.
Cosmetic Condition: Guitar is in good condition with moderate wear. The finish is checking, and there are lots of small dents, dings, scratches, and age related finish blemishes throughout. The edges of the headstock veneer have worn in over time, and the finish has chipped away revealing the maple under the finish.
Serial Number: 538085
Tech Notes: Guitar plays well with low action and optimal relief on the bass side of the neck. Frets are wide and flat, showing moderate wear. Pot codes date to 1968, while the serial number dates to 1969, the logo omits the dot in the "I", and the crown inlay features exterior points reaching halfway up the inlay. These features place this piece in early 1969 production.
