More Information

Overall condition is fair to poor. Outside of what is mentioned in the description: There are a fair number of dings and dents on the sides and the back of the body. The top has many lacquer cracks/hairline cracks with some that appear to down into the wood (to the bottom of the F hole and towards the centre of the top horn) as well as several filled holes under the guard (some visible to the side of the guard). The screw holes in the neck pocket have been enlarged and the routing towards the neck pickup is quite rough. The neck is date 3 May 1969 and it does appear to have a slight twist in it as saddles have been adjusted to compensate. Please see condition report images for guidance on condition.
