The selector switch has been wired such that the bridge pickup is on position 2 and the middle is on position 3.

Case Details: Hardshell Case
Cosmetic Condition: This vintage guitar is in good condition for its age. The finish is matte with widespread, but light, wear of the gold paint around the edges of the body. The neck has extensive finish checking and is missing some small chips of finish on its underside. The ninth fret inlay is worn on the bass side of the neck. The veneer on the headstock has a small chip at its tip, a larger chip towards the low E string tuner, and is lifting slightly on the bass side - this is structurally stable and will not affect any playability.
Serial Number: N/A
Tech Notes: The guitar plays well with low action and has been set up with 9 gauge strings. The frets are medium with moderate play wear. The truss rod has limited adjustability and the guitar will set up best with lighter gauge strings.
