Description

Cosmetic Condition:  Cool vintage beauty with some nice mods that have turned it more into a player's grade guitar.  The original mini humbuckers were replaced with full size DiMarzios each with its own coil switch & the original tuners were replaced with gold Grovers.  Overall the guitar is in fairly good condition, however, there is a minor crack in the very top of the headstock, bass-side flange, near the D tuner.  The crack is stable with no issues other than cosmetic.  The rest of the guitar shows signs of play wear - various nicks, chips, dents & dings; surface scratches & buckle rash.  The guitar has a great vibe to it with that unique '70s feel.  It's been professionally set up by us with a fresh pack of strings & low action, so it plays & sounds amazing!

Neck:  Slender profile maple neck with cream binding & black side-dots.  Beautiful dark rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl trapezoid inlays.  Original frets show some wear, but have plenty of life in them.  Unoriginal Grover tuners are in perfect working condition.  1 11/16" nut width; 24 3/4" scale length.  Neck is straight & truss rod works fine. 

Body:  Solid mahogany body with plain maple top & cream binding.  Stopbar tailpiece & adjustable bridge with chrome hardware.  Single-ply cream pickguard is in good shape with no cracks.  Guitar weighs 10.7 lbs.

Pickups:  Unoriginal DiMarzio humbuckers with cream bezels.  Bridge - 13.01K ohms; Neck - 13.27K ohms.  Each pickup has its own mini switch for coil tapping.  Dual volume & tone controls with gold "top hat" knobs, although the neck pickup tone knob is missing its silver insert.  All electronics are in perfect working condition.  Pots date to '78.

Case:  Original hardshell case included, although one of the clasps is broken.
