Tech Notes: The guitar plays well with medium-low action, and is currently set up with 10s. The neck is slightly backbowed even with the truss rod fully loose, and so lighter strings would not be recommended. The guitar has been set up to play cleanly and comfortably in this condition. The frets are narrow and tall with minor wear. The neck stamp and serial number date this guitar to 1968.
