Tech Notes: | -The guitar plays well with medium/low action. The truss rod has limited adjustability so the guitar sets up best with light gauge strings. The bridge has no further downward adjustability so the guitar could benefit from a neck reset. Because it plays well in its current condition, this has not been done. -The serial number dates to 1968. |
