Cosmetic Condition: The guitar is in very clean condition; the finish is glossy with light checking, minor scratches and dings, and other minor blemishes. The back of the body has very minor buckle rash, and the neck is glossy and smooth. There is a small badge on the back of the headstock from a prior dealer.
Serial Number: 536151
Tech Notes: The guitar plays well with low action and optimal neck relief. It is currently set up with 10s, and the truss rod is adjustable. The frets are wide and low with light wear and divots present. The serial number dates the guitar to 1969; the guitar represents a transitional era with multiple pre-1969 appointments, including the one piece neck and lack of a “Made in USA” mark on the back of the headstock.
